Instructions
Patties:
- Cook potatoes and cauliflower: Peel and chop the potatoes. Bring a pot of water to a boil, add a pinch of salt, the potatoes, and the frozen chopped cauliflower. Bring to a boil again and let cook for about 15 minutes or until both potatoes and cauliflower are soft. Drain well and let them get completely cool.15 oz potatoes/ 425 g + 10.5 oz cauliflower/ 300 g
- Mash the potatoes and the cauliflower with a potato masher. Add the grated cheese, 3 tablespoons of the dry breadcrumbs, egg, dill, finely chopped scallions, salt, pepper, and sweet paprika. Mix very well and try to form a patty. If the mixture is too soft, add the 4th tablespoon of breadcrumbs and mix again.1 cup grated cheese/ 100 g + 3-4 tablespoons dry breadcrumbs + 1 egg + 2 teaspoons chopped dill + 4 thin scallions + 1 ½ teaspoons salt + ¼ teaspoon black pepper + ½ teaspoon sweet paprika
- Preheat the oven to 400°F/ 200°C. Line a baking tray with baking paper.
- Shape patties: Pour the two tablespoons of oil into a small bowl and use a bit of it to lightly brush the baking paper. Form 16 balls (about 2 oz/ 55 g each). Flatten the balls into discs with your palm.
Breading:
- Breading station: Place the flour on a large plate, beat the remaining two eggs in a shallow bowl, and place the dry breadcrumbs on another plate.2-3 tablespoons all-purpose flour + 2 eggs + ¾ cup dry breadcrumbs
- Bread patties: Coat each patty with flour and pat gently to remove the excess flour. Drag the patties through the lightly beaten eggs and coat well with the breadcrumbs.
- Bake patties: Place the patties onto the prepared tray and use the remaining oil to brush the top and sides of the patties. Bake for 15 minutes, flip over, and bake for a further 15 minutes until golden brown and crisp. Serve hot as suggested above.2 tablespoons vegetable oil
