Potato, Carrot & Onion Patties w Chilli & Coriander
This is my type of comfort food, and quite simple and quick to make. This recipe makes 3 to 4 patties, depending on the size. I used food rings to help me make them a bit tidier than I would do without, but if you want to go for squares, don't let the rings stop you! 😉
Cuisine: vegan
Recipe type: Patties!
Serves: 1-2

Total time:
You need
- ½ cup grated potato (personally, I usually don't bother with peeling)
- ½ cup grated carrot
- ¼ cup grated onion
- ~80ml organic white spelt flour (or any flour you prefer)
- salt to taste
- ⅛ tsp chilli powder (or more if you like)
- a small hand fresh coriander, finely chopped and some extra to serve
- ½ tsp baking powder (try to buy aluminium free)
- 1 clove of garlic, finely grated (or use paste)
- water (you won't need more than ¼ cup)
- coconut oil to fry (about 1.5 tbsp)
To do
- mix the grated potato, onion, garlic, optional salt, baking powder, coriander and carrot together in a bowl
- add the flour, mix well - let sit for a few minutes so the flour can absorb some of the moisture
- start adding water bit by bit till you have a thick 'batter' that sticks together (if you add too much water, add more flour)
- heat the oil in a skillet (medium high) and scoop the batter in the hot oil, using a food ring or without, flatten out a bit so the patties are about ½ to ¾ cm thick
- after a minute, turn heat down a little bit, and flip patties over when bottom side is brown - the middle will have started to become a bit drier too by then (if they aren't dry enough to flip over, leave them a bit longer)
- bake until brown and you're done. I served them with more fresh coriander and Tofu Mayonaise 🙂
Notes
If you make more and have left overs, they are fine to reheat the next day, or take them with you for lunch 🙂 Oh, and using the food processor to grate saves you some time 🙂
