Mashed Brown Potatoes

1. 1

   Heat up a small fry pan (I use cast iron) over medium heat.

2. 2

   Meanwhile, in a small bowl, mix well the potatoes, 1/2 teaspoons of flour, herbs, garlic powder, salt and pepper together with a fork.

3. 3

   Gather up the potato mixture with your hands and form into a patty and flatten slighty.

4. 4

   Holding the patty in the palm of your hand, sprinkle a bit of flour on the patty. (I use a shaker can) Gently pat the flour onto the patty, flip over and do the same with the other side.

5. 5

   Add olive oil or butter (I sometimes use a bit of both) to the heated pan. When the oil is hot, gently place the patty into the pan. IMPORTANT: DO NOT MOVE THE PATTY AROUND. Let cook about 3-5 minutes.

6. 6

   Using a spatula and a fork, gently flip the patty over to cook on the other side. The potato should be nicely browned. Again, DO NOT move it around in the pan. Cook for another 3-5 minutes until browned and heated through.

7. 7

   Transfer to plate and cover with fried onions, if using.
