This recipe serves ~3 people, and takes ~1 hour to make (including the time to prepare the potatoes).
Ingredients:
- 2 potatoes
- 1 cup of diced vegetables (carrots, corn, peas, and green beans)
- 1/4 teaspoon of pressed garlic
- 1/4 teaspoon of pressed ginger
- 1/4 teaspoon of ground turmeric
- 1/4 teaspoon of ground cumin
- 1/4 teaspoon of ground black pepper
- 1/4 teaspoon of salt
- 2 eggs
- 1 cup of flour
- 1/4 cup of olive oil
Optional:
- tomatoes
- cilantro
- lemon juice
- mushroom
- cabbage and/or lettuce
Recipe Instructions:
Step 1
Cut 2 raw potatoes into small chunks. Put the small chunks into a pot. Fill the pot with enough water to cover the potato chunks (~2 inches above potato chunks). Cook for 30 minutes on medium heat, or until a fork can easily pierce through to the middle of the potatoes.
Step 2
Let the potatoes cool off in a large bowl for ~15 minutes.
Step 3
Next, add carrots, corn, peas, green beans, garlic, ginger, turmeric, cumin, black pepper, salt, 1 egg to the large bowl with the potatoes. Mash all of the ingredients together with your hands, or with a fork.
Step 4
With your hands, shape the mashed ingredients into veggie cakes ~3 inches wide and ~1 inch thick.
Step 5
Dip each veggie cake into a whisked egg, on a plate or in a bowl, then dip each veggie cake into flour, on another plate or bowl. Make sure to cover each veggie cake thoroughly with egg and flour.
Step 6
Coat the frypan with oil, then heat it for ~1/2 a minute, on medium heat.
Step 7
Fry each side of the veggie cakes for ~6 minutes, or until they have a golden crisp on both sides.
Step 8
Optionally, add diced tomatoes, fresh cilantro, and drizzle lemon juice and oil over the top, or serve a plate of fixings to your liking.
Bonus Fish Cakes Alternate Recipe:
This recipe for veggie cakes can easily be transformed into a recipe for fish cakes by altering steps.
After Step 1 and before Step 2, while the potatoes are cooking, fill an empty pot with water. Place a piece of raw, boneless fish into the water. Cook on medium heat until the fish flakes easily with a fork (~10 minutes). Let the potatoes and the fish cool off in a large bowl for ~15 minutes. The vegetables added in Step 3 then become optional. There are no other changes needed for the remainder of the steps.
