The photo was from the ones i made 2 years ago. Dipped in egg. The 2nd time i made it, it was dipped into flour batter & coated with oats since a colleague of mine can't eat egg. The 3rd time i made them today - using tuna instead of salmon- were dipped in egg & coated with oats. They can be pan fried or grilled. If you want them crisp, pan fry with a bit of oil.
The recipe was inspired by an article from NYtimes.com on leftover food shared by AMZ who, like me, finds delight in making easy & convenient comfort food ;p But i altered it a bit with oats & some other stuff. Thanks a lot kak Yan! :)
Ingredients (20-25 small patties):
- 12-15 steamed potatoes (depends on the size)
- 2 tins salmon/ tuna flakes in water (drained)
- some cut spinach
- some fried shallots/ onion
- some cut cilantro/ coriander leaves
- salt & pepper to taste
- 1 cup oats
- 1 egg - optional
- 1-2 spoonful of butter - optional
- Once steamed, directly pour the potatoes (don't bother peeling them) onto the spinach in a mash bowl. The heat from the potatoes will wilt the spinach in the mash process.
- Mash along with the salmon/ tuna flakes, fried onion, cilantro/ coriander, salt & pepper, egg, & oats.
- The oat could also help in balancing the texture if the mixture gets too wet/ soft. Just keep adding until you find it suitable.
- Shape them into small patties, dip in egg, then coat with oats (or breadcrumbs if u like) & put aside in a container.
- Once ure done, put them in fridge for a while to avoid breaking. Actually, i find putting oats in them already helps in the matter :)
- Fry/ grill them & enjoy with mayonnaise or steamed spinach with garlic-mayo.
