Ingredients
•
1 1/2 cups cold mashed potatoes
•
1 cup finely chopped cooked ham
•
3 green onions, finely chopped
•
1 1/2 cups panko bread crumbs, divided
•
1 egg
•
1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
•
1/2 teaspoon dried dill weed
•
1/2 teaspoon salt
•
1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper
•
1/2 cup vegetable oil for frying, or as needed
Directions
1
Mix together mashed potatoes, ham, green onions, 1/4 cup bread crumbs, egg, Dijon mustard, dill weed, salt, and black pepper in a large bowl until thoroughly combined. If mixture is too moist to hold together, mix in an additional 1/4 cup bread crumbs.
2
Place remaining bread crumbs into a shallow bowl.
3
Scoop about 1/3 cup of the mixture and form into a ball; slightly flatten into a patty. Press both sides of patty into bread crumbs; tap off any loose crumbs. Repeat with remaining mixture.
4
Heat oil in a large skillet over medium heat until very hot. Fry patties, 2 to 3 at a time, in hot oil until golden brown, 3 to 4 minutes per side. Drain on a paper towel-lined plate.
