How to make this recipe
1 – Peel and chop potatoes and boil until soft, about 20 minutes.
2 – Drain water from potatoes and place in bowl. Mash with a potato masher. Set aside to cool.
3 – While potatoes cool, dice onion, red pepper, green pepper and zucchini.
4 – In a medium sized skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add vegetables and sauté until vegetables or tender, about 5 minutes. Remove from heat.
5 – Add Parmesan cheese, salt and pepper to the sautéed vegetables and stir together.
6 – Add salt, pepper, breadcrumb and eggs to the mashed potatoes and stir until completely combined.
7 – Form the mashed potatoes into balls and lightly press down and form into flat patties, approximately 1/4″ thick. The patties will be about 5″ in diameter.
8 – Repeat until all patties are formed. You’ll need an even amount of patties, and should end up with about 12.
9 – Add approximately 2 tbsp of the vegetable mixture to the top of one patty. Place another patty on top, forming a sandwich. Press down all the side together so there are no seams showing.
10 – Using a pastry brush, brush tops and bottoms of patties with olive oil.
11 – Remove basket from air fryer and lightly spray with a nonstick cooking spray. Gently place patties into the basket. You may need to cook them in several batches so they aren’t overcrowded in the basket.
12 – Cook at 400 degrees for 15 minutes, carefully flipping halfway through. Repeat until all potato patties are cooked.
How do I store my leftover scallops?
Place cooled patties in an airtight container, or wrap in aluminum foil. Stored in the refrigerator they will last for about 3 days.
Can I freeze my potato patties?
Yes! Place cooled patties in a single layer on a baking sheet and place in freezer for 2 hours. Transfer individually frozen patties into a freezer safe bag. Freeze for up to 6 months. Reheat patties in the microwave or air fry again until warmed through.
