Ingredients
Scale
Potato Base
- 4 cups Baby Boomer potatoes
Mushroom Stuffing
- 1 cup White-button mushrooms, finely diced
- 1 medium Yellow onion, finely minced
- 1 teaspoon Paprika (divided: ½ teaspoon for mushrooms, 1 teaspoon for potatoes)
- 1 teaspoon Salt (divided: ½ teaspoon for mushrooms, 1 teaspoon for potatoes)
- 1 teaspoon Black pepper (divided: as needed)
- 2 tablespoons Vegetable oil (divided: 1 tablespoon for sautéing onions, 1 tablespoon for mushrooms and greasing)
Coating
- 1 cup Gluten-free breadcrumbs (or regular breadcrumbs if gluten is not a concern)
Instructions
- Prepare Potatoes: Wash the baby Boomer potatoes thoroughly, place them in a large pot, cover with water and bring to a boil. Cook for about 15 minutes until they can be easily pierced with a fork. Drain the potatoes and set aside to dry.
- Sauté Onions: Finely mince the yellow onion. Heat 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil in a pan over medium-high heat. Sauté the onion for around 10 minutes until golden brown, stirring occasionally to avoid burning.
- Cook Mushrooms: Finely dice the white-button mushrooms and add them to the pan with the onions along with another tablespoon of vegetable oil. Cook for 10 minutes, stirring occasionally. Season with salt, black pepper, and ½ teaspoon of paprika. Stir well and cook down until mushrooms release moisture and become tender.
- Mash Potatoes: In a large bowl, mash the cooked potatoes until smooth and creamy. Season with 1 teaspoon of salt and additional black pepper to taste, mixing evenly.
- Form Patties: Preheat your oven to 350°F (180°C). With wet hands, take a portion of the potato mash, flatten it into your palm, place about ½ teaspoon of the mushroom filling in the center, then gently mold the potato around the filling to create a stuffed patty.
- Prepare for Coating and Baking: Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and lightly oil it to prevent sticking. Pour gluten-free breadcrumbs onto a flat plate. Brush each patty lightly with vegetable oil and roll it evenly in the breadcrumbs. Place the coated patties onto the prepared baking sheet with some space in between.
- Bake Patties: Bake the patties in the preheated oven at 350°F for 20 minutes. After 20 minutes, carefully flip each patty and bake for an additional 10 minutes or until they are golden brown and crispy on both sides.
- Serve: Remove the patties from the oven and serve immediately while they are hot and crispy for the best texture and flavor experience.
Notes
- Make sure to use wet hands when shaping patties to prevent the potato mixture from sticking to your fingers.
- If you prefer a crispier texture, you can brush patties with a bit more oil before baking.
- These patties are best served fresh but can be reheated in an oven or air fryer to maintain crispiness.
- Gluten-free breadcrumbs can be substituted with panko or regular breadcrumbs if gluten is not a concern.
- Adjust seasoning to taste and feel free to add fresh herbs like parsley or thyme to the mushroom filling for extra flavor.
