Ingredients

4 cups Baby Boomer potatoes
1 cup White-button mushrooms, finely diced
1 medium Yellow onion, finely minced
1 teaspoon Paprika
1 cup Gluten-free breadcrumbs (or regular)
1 teaspoon Black pepper, to taste
1 teaspoon Salt, to taste
2 tablespoons Vegetable oil

Instructions

Step 1: Wash the potatoes and place them in a large pot. Cover with water and bring to a boil. Cook for about 15 minutes until they are easily pierced with a fork. Drain and set aside to dry.
Step 2: Finely mince the yellow onion. Heat 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil in a pan over medium-high heat and sauté the onion for about 10 minutes until golden brown.
Step 3: Add the diced mushrooms to the pan along with another tablespoon of oil. Cook for 10 minutes, stirring occasionally. Season with salt, black pepper, and ½ teaspoon paprika.
Step 4: In a large bowl, mash the cooked potatoes until creamy. Season with 1 teaspoon salt and additional black pepper to taste.
Step 5: Preheat the oven to 350°F (180°C).
Step 6: 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, then mold the potato around it to form a patty.
Step 7: Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and lightly grease it with oil.
Step 8: Pour the gluten-free breadcrumbs onto a flat plate. Brush each patty lightly with oil, roll it in the breadcrumbs to coat evenly, and place on the prepared baking sheet.
Step 9: Bake the patties for 20 minutes at 350°F. Flip them, then bake for another 10 minutes until golden brown and crispy.
Step 10: Serve immediately while hot and crispy.

Tips & Variations

Use leftover mashed potatoes to save time and reduce waste.
Try adding fresh herbs like parsley or thyme for extra flavor.
For a cheesy twist, include a small piece of cheese inside each patty with the mushroom filling.
If you prefer, pan-fry the patties in oil until golden instead of baking.

Storage

Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To reheat, bake at 350°F (180°C) for 10-15 minutes or pan-fry to restore crispiness. These patties are best enjoyed fresh but reheat well.

How to Serve

Three round golden-brown patties with a crispy texture sit on a white speckled plate. Underneath them is a layer of mashed potato mixed with small orange carrot pieces and bits of green herbs. To the side, a small white bowl holds sliced cooked mushrooms and carrot rounds, with some spilling onto the plate. Fresh green parsley leaves are scattered around the plate edges for garnish. The plate rests on a wooden board, and the background is a white marbled texture. Photo taken with an iphone --ar 4:5 --v 7

FAQs

Can I use other types of mushrooms?

Yes, cremini or shiitake mushrooms work well and add a deeper flavor. Just dice them finely and adjust cooking time as needed.

Are these patties gluten-free?

They can be if you use gluten-free breadcrumbs. Otherwise, regular breadcrumbs are fine if gluten is not a concern.
