Ingredients
For the Patties:
- 4–6 medium potatoes, grated
- 400 g minced chicken
- 1–2 eggs
- 1 medium onion, grated
- 2 cloves garlic, grated
- 1 tsp pepper
- 1 tsp Italian herbs
- 1 tsp salt
- ½ tsp black pepper
- 100 g flour
- 2 tbsp oil
- 100 g mayonnaise
For the Mushroom Sauce:
- 250 g mushrooms, sliced
- 1 medium onion, chopped (optional)
- 2 garlic cloves, minced (optional)
- 120 g butter
- 200 ml cream
- 1 tsp nutmeg
- ½ tsp salt
- 150 g grated mozzarella cheese
For Garnish:
- 1 medium onion, chopped (for garnish)
- Fresh parsley (optional)
Instructions
Step 1: Prepare the Patties
- Grate and Drain the Potatoes: Peel and grate the potatoes. Place them in a clean kitchen towel or cheesecloth and squeeze out as much moisture as possible to prevent soggy patties.
- Combine Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, combine the grated potatoes, minced chicken, grated onion, garlic, pepper, Italian herbs, salt, black pepper, and mayonnaise. Mix well. Gradually add the flour until the mixture binds together into a cohesive dough.
- Form the Patties: Heat 2 tablespoons of oil in a large frying pan over medium heat. Shape the potato-chicken mixture into small, round patties, roughly the size of your palm.
- Cook the Patties: Fry the patties in batches, cooking each side for 3–4 minutes, or until golden brown and cooked through. Remove and place on a paper towel-lined plate to absorb excess oil.
Step 2: Prepare the Mushroom Sauce
- Sauté Aromatics: In a separate pan, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and sauté until translucent, about 3 minutes. Stir in the minced garlic and cook for an additional 1–2 minutes until fragrant.
- Cook the Mushrooms: Add the sliced mushrooms to the pan and cook for 5–7 minutes, or until they release their moisture and become tender.
- Add Cream and Cheese: Pour in the cream, stirring constantly, and let it simmer for 5 minutes until the sauce begins to thicken. Season with nutmeg and salt. Stir in the grated mozzarella cheese and cook for 1–2 more minutes, or until the cheese has melted and the sauce is smooth and creamy.
Step 3: Assemble and Serve
- Plate the Patties: Arrange the cooked patties on serving plates.
- Add the Sauce: Generously spoon the creamy mushroom sauce over the patties.
- Garnish: Sprinkle chopped onions or fresh parsley for added color and flavor.
- Serve Hot: Enjoy the patties with a side of vegetables, rice, or your favorite salad for a complete meal.
Pro Tips
- Pattie Binding: If the mixture feels too wet, add a little more flour to help bind the patties.
- Make Ahead: Prepare the patties ahead of time and refrigerate or freeze them. Cook directly from frozen, adding a few extra minutes to the cooking time.
- Sauce Variations: Add a splash of white wine to the mushroom sauce for an extra layer of flavor.
- Healthier Option: Bake the patties in the oven at 375°F (190°C) for 15–20 minutes instead of frying for a lighter version.
