Potato Patties

This is what I made as a side dish to go with the chicken from last night. They are called Potato Patties and the recipe is from Company's Coming "Barbecues". These patties can be grilled in a vegetable basket on the barbecue or fryed in a frying pan on the stove. I fried them and they were quite tasty. I bet they would be good if you barbecued them, spread them with BBQ sauce, and put them inside hamburger buns. Then they would make a nice vegetarian burger, just like grilled portebello mushroom caps do! Anyway, they are a great alternative to the usual mashed potato side dish.

To make them, all you have to do is boil as many medium potaotes as people you are serving until barely tender. Then give them a litle grate in the food processor. Add some chopped onion, salt, and pepper, and form them into patties. Then grill or fry for 7-10 minutes per side, until golden and crispy. That's it! Quick, easy, and yummy!
