How to Make Spiced Samosa Patties

Ingredients:

3 large Yukon Gold potatoes (baked, and skins removed)
1/2 cup frozen peas
1/4 cup chopped onion
1 1/2 teaspoons curry powder (or more to taste)
1/2 teaspoon ground ginger
1/2 teaspoon salt (plus a couple dashes for the gluten free flour)
1/4 teaspoon pepper
1/2 cup gluten free flour blend
3 tablespoons vegan buttery spread
2 tablespoons canola oil

Directions:

In a small pot, cook the peas and onions in one tablespoon of buttery spread over medium heat until the onion softens, about 5 minutes.
Place the baked potatoes, with the skin off, in a large bowl. Once the peas and onions are cooked, add them to the potatoes. Don’t drain the veggies before adding them.
Add the curry powder, ground ginger, salt, pepper, and one tablespoon of buttery spread to the potato mixture. Use a potato masher to mash everything together.
Place the gluten-free flour and a few dashes of salt in a small bowl, and set it aside. Line a plate with paper towels.
Heat the remaining tablespoon of buttery spread and the two tablespoons of canola oil in a frying pan over medium heat.
Form the potato mixture into small patties and dredge them in the gluten-free flour. Once the oil and buttery spread are sizzling, place a few patties in the pan. Cook until golden brown, about three minutes on each side.
Once they are cooked, place them on the paper towel-lined plate to drain. Repeat with the remaining patties.
Serve warm. This recipe makes 8 small patties.

How to Serve Spiced Samosa Patties

Spiced Samosa Patties are best served warm, straight from the pan. You can pair them with a refreshing dip like mint chutney, tamarind sauce, or even some sweet chili sauce. They make a wonderful appetizer, a side dish, or even a light meal when served with a salad.

How to Store Spiced Samosa Patties

If you have leftover patties, let them cool completely before storing. Place them in an airtight container and store them in the refrigerator for up to three days. You can also freeze them for longer storage. Just thaw and reheat them in the oven or on the stovetop when you are ready to eat.

Tips to Make Spiced Samosa Patties

For an extra kick, feel free to add more curry powder or some chili powder to the potato mixture.
Make sure your oil is hot enough before frying the patties to get that nice golden brown color.
If you want to make them smaller or larger, adjust the size of the patties according to your preference, but remember to adjust cooking time accordingly.

Variation

If you want to mix things up, consider adding some chopped fresh herbs like cilantro or mint to the potato mixture. You can also use different vegetables such as shredded carrots or corn for added flavor and texture.
