Ingredients
For the dough
- 2 pounds potatoes Use starchy/floury potatoes like Russets or Maris Piper.
- 1 cup all-purpose/plain flour Plus more for dusting.
- 1 large egg
- ⅔ teaspoon fine sea salt
For the filling
- 11.64 ounces ground turkey or pork 7-10% fat
- 5.29 ounces mushrooms Wiped, finely chopped.
- 1 medium onion Finely chopped.
- 2 teaspoons all-purpose/plain flour
- ½ teaspoon paprika
- ½ teaspoon dried mixed herbs
- ½ teaspoon fine sea salt
- to taste pepper
- 1 tablespoon tomato paste
- 3 tablespoons olive/vegetable oil
Instructions
Preparation
- Peel and boil the potatoes until tender. Remove from heat, drain thoroughly, then mash until smooth and creamy. Set aside to cool completely.
- In a large non-stick pan, heat 1 tablespoon of oil, add the onion, and cook gently for about 3 minutes, stirring often. Add the mushrooms and cook over medium heat for 6-7 minutes or until moisture has been absorbed and mushrooms start browning.
- Add the ground meat, paprika, herbs, salt, and pepper. Cook for about 5 minutes until moisture has been absorbed. Add 2 teaspoons of flour, stir, and continue cooking for another minute. Remove from heat, cool, and pulse briefly in a food processor with tomato paste until sticky.
- To the mashed potato, add the egg, salt, and flour. Combine until flour is no longer visible. Form a smooth, soft dough and cut into 14 pieces.
- Flatten each piece of dough, place 1-1.5 tablespoons of filling in the center, and close the edges. Pat the cake flat.
- In a large non-stick pan, heat about 1½ tablespoons of oil, add the patties, and cook over medium heat for 2-3 minutes on each side until nicely browned. Serve immediately.
Notes
Cook your stuffed potato cakes as soon as you make them and do not overcrowd the pan. Best served straight from the pan. Leftovers can be refrigerated for up to 3 days.
