Basic Black Bean Patties
These incredibly tasty patties can be served with a variety of sauces. It all depends on what flavor you’re in the mood for. Spicy peanut sauce works great, but so do salsa and barbecue sauce.
One 16-oz. can diced white potatoes, drained
One 15.5-oz. can black beans, drained (and rinsed, if possible)
1 T. dehydrated minced onion
1 tsp. dried parsley
¼ C. dried bread crumbs
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
2 T. olive oil
In a large bowl mash the potatoes and beans with a potato ricer until broken up. Add the onion, parsley, and bread crumbs, and then salt and pepper to taste. Mix until well combined. Divide the mixture into 6 equal portions and use your hands to shape into patties. Heat the oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Cook the bean patties until golden brown on both sides, about 5 minutes per side. Drain on paper towels and serve hot with your favorite sauce.
