Ingredients
2 large potatoes
1 sweet potato
tbsp butter
for mashing
milk
for mashing
half a brown onion
finely diced
1 zucchini
grated
1 carrot
grated
olive oil
splash of ketcap manis (Indonesian soy sauce) or ordinary soy sauce
¾ cup cooked rice
½ cup tinned lentils
drained
2 eggs
beaten
250g chicken mince
½ cup breadcrumbs
optional
plain flour
for dredging
2 eggs
beaten
plain bread crumbs
Equipment
- 1 large bowl
- 1 oven tray
- 1 frypan
Instructions
- Peel, chop and cook your potatoes and sweet potato in some boiling water until soft. Mash with a little butter and milk, and set aside to cool.
- While the potatoes are cooking, fry the onion, zucchini, carrot in a little olive oil with a sprinkle of salt and the soy sauce.
- In a large bowl combine the mash, rice, lentils, veggie mix, eggs and mince. Mix thoroughly until all ingredients are combined well. Add 1/2 cup breadcrumbs to bind the mix together, if you need it.
- Press into patties or whatever shape your fussy toddler prefers to eat! Dip in flour, roll through beaten egg and then through the breadcrumbs.
- Place patties onto a lined oven tray and bake in a moderate oven for around 20 minutes or until golden brown. Alternatively, you could shallow fry them in a large frypan.
Notes
Tip
If your kids like peas or corn, add these to the veggie mix, too.
Tip
To save time you could make the mashed potato the day before and store in the fridge overnight.
Tip
Pan frying these patties will make them crunchier than baking them in the oven.
Tip
Freeze uneaten, cooled patties in a Ziploc bag.
