Oven Baked Mashed Potato Cakes

Healthier than pan fried potato patties, these baked mashed potato cakes are cooked in oven for a result that is crisp in the outside and melting in the inside. This easy side dish is ideal to accompany holiday dishes like grilled meat, fish and poultry.

INGREDIENTS LIST FOR BAKED MASHED POTATO CAKES
Makes 4:

• 1 3/4 lbs (800g) potatoes, peeled and rinsed
• 2 eggs
• 2 tablespoons onion, finely chopped
• Salt and fresh cracked pepper
• 1 cup pancetta (or ham, bacon…), diced
• 2 tablespoons butter
• 1 tablespoon milk
• 2 tablespoons chives, chopped
• 4 tablespoons breadcrumbs or Panko

DIRECTIONS
1. Cook potatoes in plenty of salted water until cooked through. Meanwhile gently fry onion until translucent and set aside.
2. In a large bowl, combine potatoes, eggs, pancetta, onions, butter and chives. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Adjust the texture with a bit of milk if necessary.
3. Preheat your oven to 400°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
4. On the baking sheet, using a ring mold, sprinkle a layer of breadcrumbs, then scoop potato mixture to shape the cakes—about 1 1/2 inch thick. Press down slightly with the back of a spatula and finish with another thin layer of breadcrumbs. Remove the ring mold and repeat the process.
