Ingredients
For the Potato Harmony:
- 2 pounds (4 large) potatoes, cubed
- 1 cup (120g) garbanzo bean flour (alternatively, whole wheat or brown rice flour)
- 2 garlic cloves, finely shredded
- 1/4 tsp salt
For the Mushroom Symphony:
- 2 Tbsp olive oil
- 1 pound portobello mushrooms, finely chopped
- 1 large onion, finely chopped
- ¼ cup fresh dill or parsley, finely chopped
- Fine black pepper and salt to taste
Instructions
- Place the potatoes in a generously sized pot, cover with water, and bring to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer for 20 minutes.
- Drain the water, let the potatoes cool, then mash them into a smooth, lump-free consistency in a large bowl. Add the chosen flour, shredded garlic, and salt. Mix thoroughly to form a dough. Refrigerate the dough for 15 minutes for easier patty shaping.
- Heat olive oil in a medium-sized pan. Sauté onions covered for 5 minutes on low-medium heat. Uncover, add mushrooms, and sauté on high heat for an additional 5 minutes, stirring consistently.
- With slightly moistened hands, divide the potato dough into 8 parts. Shape each patty, adding 1.5 tablespoons of the mushroom mixture in the center. Cover with another patty, shaping it into a flat, round form.
- Coat a large pan with oil, heat to medium-high, and carefully cook the potato cakes for 2 minutes on each side, achieving a delightful golden hue.
Embark on this culinary adventure, savoring the fusion of flavors and the nutritional embrace of Mushroom-Infused Potato Delights. A celebration of taste and well-being in every bite!
