Ingredients

Units Scale

Core Ingredients

  • 3 cups mashed potatoes
  • 1.5 cups corned beef, roughly chopped or torn
  • 1/4 cup green onions, finely diced
  • 1 egg
  • 1/2 cup seasoned breadcrumbs
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1/2 tsp garlic powder
  • 1/4 tsp pepper

For Frying

  • Neutral oil, for frying (about 2 tbsp per batch)

Instructions

  1. Mix Ingredients: In a large bowl, combine the mashed potatoes, chopped corned beef, finely diced green onions, egg, seasoned breadcrumbs, salt, garlic powder, and pepper. Stir thoroughly until all components are evenly incorporated.
  2. Form Patties: Take a small handful of the mixture, approximately 1/4 to 1/3 cup, and shape it into flat, round patties. Place the formed patties on a platter as you go.
  3. Chill Patties: Cover the platter with plastic wrap and refrigerate the patties for at least one hour. This step helps them firm up, which makes them easier to handle and fry without breaking.
  4. Heat Pan: Remove the patties from the fridge. Heat a large frying pan over medium-low heat and add about 2 tablespoons of neutral oil to coat the surface.
  5. Fry Patties: Carefully place the patties in the pan. Cook each side for about 5 minutes until golden brown, being gentle when flipping to avoid breaking. Fry in batches if necessary, adding more oil as needed.
  6. Serve: Once all patties are cooked, sprinkle a little extra salt on top and serve warm. You can garnish with your favorite toppings such as a poached egg, sour cream, or sauerkraut for extra flavor.

Notes

  • These patties are an excellent way to use up leftover corned beef and mashed potatoes from St. Patrick’s Day or other meals.
  • You can substitute mashed potatoes with boiled and mashed potatoes if preferred.
  • Top with poached eggs, sour cream, or sauerkraut to customize flavor and add moisture.
  • Handle patties gently while frying to keep them intact, flipping once per side is ideal.
  • Refrigerating the patties before cooking is key to prevent them from falling apart in the pan.
