Potato Base
- 4 cups Baby Boomer potatoes (a creamy, fluffy base)
Mushroom Filling
- 1 cup White-button mushrooms (finely diced)
- 1 medium Yellow onion (finely minced)
- 1 teaspoon Paprika (adds smoky flavor, divided)
- 1 teaspoon Salt (to taste, divided)
- 1 teaspoon Black pepper (to taste, divided)
Coating and Cooking
- 1 cup Gluten-free breadcrumbs (or regular if gluten is not a concern)
- 2 tablespoons Vegetable oil (for frying and greasing, divided)
- Boil the Potatoes: Wash the Baby Boomer potatoes thoroughly, place them in a large pot, cover with water, and bring to a boil. Cook for about 15 minutes or until easily pierced with a fork. Drain and set aside to dry.
- Sauté the Onion: Finely mince the yellow onion. Heat 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil in a pan over medium-high heat. Add the onion and sauté for around 10 minutes until golden brown and fragrant.
- Cook the Mushrooms: Finely dice the white-button mushrooms. Add another tablespoon of vegetable oil to the pan with the onions, then add mushrooms. Cook for 10 minutes, stirring occasionally. Season with ½ teaspoon paprika, salt, and black pepper to taste. Remove from heat and set aside.
- Mash the Potatoes: In a large bowl, mash the cooked potatoes until creamy and smooth. Season with 1 teaspoon of salt and additional black pepper to taste. Mix well to combine.
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (180°C) and prepare a baking sheet by lining it with parchment paper and lightly greasing with oil.
- Form Patties: With wet hands, take a portion of the potato mash and flatten it in your palm. Place about ½ teaspoon of the mushroom filling in the center and mold the potato around it to enclose the filling, forming a round patty.
- Coat Patties: Pour gluten-free breadcrumbs onto a flat plate. Brush each patty lightly with vegetable oil and roll it in the breadcrumbs evenly to coat. Place each coated patty on the prepared baking sheet.
- Bake Patties: Bake the patties in the preheated oven for 20 minutes. Carefully flip each patty and bake for another 10 minutes until golden brown and crisp on both sides.
- Serve: Remove from the oven and serve immediately while hot and crispy for the best texture and flavor.
Notes
- Using wet hands to shape the patties helps prevent sticking.
- Gluten-free breadcrumbs can be substituted with regular breadcrumbs if gluten is not a concern.
- If you prefer a crispier exterior, briefly pan-fry the patties after baking.
- Potatoes should be thoroughly dried after boiling to achieve a creamy mash that binds well.
- These patties can be served as a snack, appetizer, or side dish alongside your favorite dipping sauces.
