Garlic Mashed Potatoes Tuna Patties Sp5 Recipes

TUNA AND POTATO PATTIES

Steps:

• Peel the potato and cut into cubes.
• Place the potato in a small saucepan and add enough cold water to just cover the potato. Add 1/2 teaspoon salt to the water. Over high heat bring the water to a boil. Reduce the heat to low and cover the saucepan with a lid. Cook the potatoes until tender, about 15 minutes. Test with a skewer to see if they are cooked. It should easily slide into the potato.
• Drain the potato when cooked. Return the potato to the empty saucepan for a minute or two to dry further in the residual heat.
• Add the potato to a medium size bowl and mash with a fork.
• Add the well-drained tuna and finely chopped onion and mix together.
• Add the egg and parsley and mix well. The tuna pieces should have broken down to a fairly fine texture.
• Season to taste with sea salt and freshly ground black pepper. Cover the bowl with cling wrap and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to one hour to allow the mixture to firm up.
• Shape the mixture into small balls and then flatten into patties, shaping them firmly with your hands. I used an ice cream scoop to make even sized patties.
• Place the polenta/cornmeal on a large plate.
• Coat the patties evenly in the cornmeal and then move to a separate plate.
• Heat the olive oil in a large non-stick frying pan until it is hot but not smoking. Gently add the patties to the pan and cook about 3 minutes each side until the exterior is crisp and golden. Avoid moving the patties around, they are fragile. Leave them to cook and firm up. Turn only once if possible.
• Cook the Tuna Patties in batches if necessary. Place the first batch on a plate lined with kitchen paper and keep warm in a low oven.
• Serve the Tuna Patties with a wedge of lemon and a delicious salad.Alternatively, they make a great burger. Place them in a burger roll with mayonnaise, tomato slices and shredded lettuce.

CREAMY GARLIC MASHED POTATOES

Steps:

• Peel and dice potatoes, making sure all are relatively the same size. Place in a large saucepan, add the salt, and cover with water. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat and then reduce heat to maintain a rolling boil. Cook until potatoes fall apart when poked with a fork.
• Heat the half-and-half and the garlic in a medium saucepan over medium heat until simmering. Remove from heat and set aside.
• Remove the potatoes from the heat and drain off the water. Mash and add the garlic-cream mixture and Parmesan; stir to combine. Let stand for 5 minutes so that mixture thickens and then serve.

GARLIC MASHED POTATOES

• Bring to a boil; reduce heat, and simmer until potatoes are easily pierced with the tip of a paring knife, 25 to 30 minutes.
• Drain; return garlic and potatoes to pan. Stir over medium-high heat until dry, 1 to 2 minutes. Remove from heat.
• In a small saucepan, bring milk to a boil; pour over potatoes. Add butter and 1 teaspoon of salt. Mash until smooth and creamy.

GARLIC MASHED POTATOES

Steps:

TUNA PATTIES

Steps:

• Boil potato until soft (as you would for mashed pots.); Mash.
• Saute chopped onion for 2-3 minutes.
• add onion to mashed potato.
• Add cayenne pepper to the mashed potato as well; mix thoroughly.
• Open can of tuna and drain liquid.
• Put tuna in a medium bowl.
• Add potato and stir until mixed through.
• add egg and mix through again.
• Add the bread crumbs, parsley, garlic powder, salt, and pepper and mix well with hands (its really the best way to get all of the ingredients mixed VERY well.) If you feel that the mixture is too moist (due to size differences in eggs), you may add some more breadcrumbs (a small amount!), but BE CAREFUL!
• Do not make mixture too dry as you may encounter breakage while cooking patties!
• Put olive oil in a nice sized frying pan, and rub olive oil over the pan with cloth; heat on medium-high.
• Form patties (2-3, depending on how large or small you wish to make them).
• Put patties in the heated pan and cook 6-8 minutes on each side, depending on how large you made each patty.
• If you made 3 patties, 6 mins per size should be just fine.
• Brown nicely on both sides!
• You may need to add a little more oil while cooking, but do not add too much!
• Enjoy alone or on a bun.
• I eat mine on a bun with ketchup!
