- Place mini dessert ring on lined baking tray. Scoop the patties mixture with 3/4 measuring cup or an ice cream scoop and place it inside the ring.
- Use pusher to flatten the patties and then remove the ring. Repeat the process with rest of the mixture to make more patties. Alternatively, roll mixture into a ball and flatten gently into patties about 1/2 inch thick and place them on lined baking tray, spacing them apart.
- Apply or spray oil on each patty and bake for around 8-10 minutes in preheated oven.
- Take the tray out, gently flip patties and spray or apply oil on other side of each patty. Return the tray to the oven and bake for another 8-10 minutes or until both sides turn light golden brown.
Notes
Mash: Use fork or potato masher rather than a food processor to mash beans and boiled potatoes. With food processor you might end up with smooth paste, but fork or masher leaves a little texture, which helps patties hold their shape and gives a nice bite.
Parchment paper: Line baking tray with parchment/greaseproof paper to prevent patties from sticking to the tray and making cleanup time consuming.
Flip gently: Use a spatula and another spoon to support patties while flipping to keep them from breaking apart.
Rest on cooling rack: Patties are fragile straight out of the oven. So let them rest on tray for a few minutes to firm up before you move them to a plate.
Toddlers: Skip black pepper when making patties for toddlers or young kids who prefer mild flavour.
