Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 medium Potatoes
- 1 medium Carrot
- 0.5 cup Green peas
- 0.75 cup Grated cheddar cheese
- 1 cup Breadcrumbs
- 3 tablespoons Cornflour
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Paprika
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 4 tablespoons Vegetable oil
- 4 Burger buns
- 4 Lettuce leaves
- 8 Tomato slices
- 4 tablespoons Mayonnaise
- 4 tablespoons Ketchup
Instructions
Peel and boil the potatoes until soft. Mash them in a large bowl and set aside.
Grate the carrot and lightly cook it with the green peas in a small skillet over medium heat for 3-4 minutes. Add to the mashed potatoes.
Mix the mashed potato and vegetable mixture with grated cheddar cheese, 1/2 cup of breadcrumbs, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper. Combine into a smooth, sticky dough.
Divide the mixture into 4 equal portions and shape each into a patty about 1/2 inch thick.
In a small bowl, mix the cornflour with enough water to create a thin slurry. Place the remaining breadcrumbs on a plate.
Dip each patty into the cornflour slurry, then coat it evenly with breadcrumbs. Repeat for all patties.
Heat the vegetable oil in a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Pan-fry the patties for 3-4 minutes on each side until golden brown and crispy. Remove and set aside.
Toast the burger buns lightly in the same skillet or a separate pan, if desired.
Assemble the burgers by spreading 1 tablespoon of mayonnaise on the bottom half of each bun. Place a lettuce leaf, then a patty, followed by 2 slices of tomato. Add 1 tablespoon of ketchup and cover with the top half of the bun.
Serve the cheesy veg burgers warm with a side of fries or salad.
