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 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.

Ready to eat : )
