Instructions
- 1
Place the potato chunks in a medium saucepan, cover with cold salted water, and bring to a boil over high heat. Reduce to a steady simmer and cook until the potato is completely tender and a fork slides through without resistance, about 12–15 minutes. Drain thoroughly and return to the saucepan.
- 2
Mash the drained potato with a potato masher or fork until smooth with no large lumps remaining. Spread onto a plate and let cool for 10–15 minutes until no longer steaming — the mixture must be cool before mixing or the patties will be too soft to hold their shape.
