Sausage & Potato Patties

I found this on Taste.com.au. This easy dinner is a great way to use up any sausages left over from a weekend barbecue or meatloaf or roast meats

• Ready In: 10 mins
• Serves: 12

Ingredients

• 1  kg  desiree potato, roughly chopped
• 500  g sausages
• 150  g button mushrooms, sliced
• 80  g baby rocket, roughly chopped
• 1 1⁄4 cups cheddar cheese or 1 1⁄4 cups mozzarella cheese, grated
• 3  eggs, lightly beaten
• 1  cup  fresh white breadcrumbs
• 40  g butter, chopped
• 1  tablespoon olive oil
• 1⁄3 cup fruit chutney, to serve

Directions

1. Place potatoes in a saucepan. Cover with water. Cook over medium heat for 10 minutes or until tender. Drain. Mash. Set aside to cool.
2. Heat a frying pan over medium heat. Cook sausages for 6 to 8 minutes, turning, or until cooked through. Roughly chop.
3. Combine potatoes, sausages, mushrooms, rocket, cheese, eggs, breadcrumbs, salt and pepper in a bowl. Stir until well combined.
4. Line a baking tray with baking paper. Using 3/4 cup of mixture at a time, shape mixture into 12 patties. Place on baking tray. Cover. Refrigerate for 30 minutes.
5. Preheat oven to 150°C Heat butter and oil in a non-stick frying pan over medium heat until sizzling. Cook patties, in batches, for 3 minutes each side or until golden. Keep cooked patties warm on baking tray in oven while cooking remaining patties. Serve patties warm with chutney.
6. Notes & tips.
7. To bake instead of pan-fry, place patties on a baking tray lined with baking paper. Spray well with olive oil cooking spray. Bake at 180°C for 25 minutes or until golden and cooked through.
8. When melting butter, chop butter into 1cm pieces. Butter will melt evenly without burning.
9. Leftover meatloaf or roast meats are also great in these patties. Chop the meat and use instead of the sausages.
