Veggie Patties

Not feeling like to have a "proper" lunch today, I just made several veggie patties to go with some raw vegies and bun. Unlike meat patties, vegie patties are more difficult to handle. It is so soft that I need to handle it with extra care. Otherwise, it will be out of shape. May be for the next trial, I should add some bread crumbs to firm up the dough.

For my first attempt, here's the outcome. The patty has a thin layer of crunch outside, and it tastes like a flavorful mashed potato inside. Overall, it resembles a hash brown - my hubby's all time favorite! For the left over patties, I stored it in the freezer. I'll just heat it up in the oven for our next meal. :)
