Are you a potato fanatic? Are you looking for a super simple snack or appetizer you can make in your air fryer? I have the perfect recipe for you. Make these Savory Potato Patties and you’ll never reach for those frozen appetizers again when hunger strikes.
Why You Should Try This Potato Patty Recipe
- Fast. Done start to finish in under 30 minutes .
- Easy. Just mix the ingredients, make the patties, and air fry them until they’re perfectly crispy.
- Vegan . No animal products whatsoever used to make them.
- Delicious. This recipe is made in the air fryer which means they weren’t heavily cooked in oil, making them a lighter dish than traditionally fried foods. It makes a great snack or side dish .
I have always been a huge potato lover and have many recipes that include potatoes. I only add more of these recipes, like this Savory Potato Patties , as time goes on because potatoes are so easy to create with.
These patties are not only easy, but they work great as an addition to a dish, as a snack, or as an appetizer.
Why I Decided To Make This Savory Potato Patty Recipe
Aloo Tikkis (or the insides of a savory little snack called batata wada ) usually start with boiled potatoes. But I don’t like recipes with two different cook cycles and so I wanted an easier way to do this.
So here was my clever hack. I found that instant potatoes do the trick just perfectly. The end result is crispy, savory, crunchy, and just delicious.
Now let me be honest. I NEVER use instant products if I can help it. In fact, I’d never before had instant mashed potatoes.
I literally had to go ask at the grocery store to find out where one could buy such a thing. But I was very sure that they would work for an air fryer recipe.
So off I went, to find some way to make potato patties in the air fryer. Boy am I glad I did. It worked, and it did so with zero fuss and lots of taste.
What Goes With Potato Patties?
These Potato Patties are really versatile and can go with just about anything. Serve these patties with a little tamarind chutney or mint chutney and you’re all set.
You can easily double or triple this recipe, and leave the rest of the spiced potato mixture for another day.
I currently have an obsession with dunking these Savory Potato Patties into various dips. I love cream cheese-based dips.
So, I gave them a try in one or two of those dips and, of course, it was as delicious. I have always been a huge fan of potatoes because they work at so many levels.
How Do You Keep Potato Patties From Falling Apart?
A lot of other recipes for potato patties use egg or cheese to hold them together while cooking. Since this is a Vegan recipe , I had to find another way to keep these potato cakes intact.
This is where my instant potato hack comes into play. If you have eaten instant potatoes more than I have (which doesn’t take a lot) you’re probably familiar with their consistency. They can be quite thick and thicken even more if you let them sit for any amount of time before eating them.
The thick texture creates the perfect “paste” to hold them together making cooking in the air fryer a breeze.
How Do You Make Potato Cakes From Scratch?
You won’t believe how incredibly easy this recipe is to make. On top of not needing to peel a ton of potatoes, all you have to do is mix the ingredients, make patties, and air fry.
- In a medium bowl, mix all ingredients. Cover and let the mixture rest for 10 minutes.
- Spray the air fryer basket with oil.
- Make 12 round, flat patties with even edges. Place patties directly into the air fryer basket.
- Set air fryer at 400F for 10 minutes. At 5 minutes, spray with some vegetable oil, and let the patties finish cooking.
