Quinoa Potato Cakes

Fish and chips and potato cakes, they belong together according to my childhood memories of this treat. Potato cakes were always included in the order. I was gifted a deep fryer recently from my friends at Kambrook and have been playing around with recipes and things that can be made in it. When I think fried food, I think fish and chips, and also potato cakes. These were begging to be made.
However……now I am a mum of two little boys and I am slightly (you may argue more than slightly) obsessed with what I feed them. I had to make these gems a little more healthy than the versions I stuffed in my mouth as a kid on the occassions we ate them 🙂
This recipe also includes instructions on how to bake rather than fry them. Both ways work beautifully. Crispy on the outside and soft in the middle. They will disappear quickly from the plate.
Do you have a childhood treat that you have re-created for your family ? I would love to hear about it in the comments below.
[…] quite a few pumpkin based recipes to utilise our harvest. This one is a little similar to the quinoa potato patties I created a couple of years […]

Yum. These look fantastic. I love potato cakes. Great idea to include quinoa.
Ooo, these look scrumptious! I especially like that crispy coating. 🙂
this looks like a great vegetarian recipe! just to confirm – it’s 1/3 cup of raw quinoa, right?
Hi Valerie, the quinoa is measured at 1/3 cup when raw and then cooked. I apologise if this caused any confusion.
Yummy, Kyrstie! Love the sound of these…I wonder how these would taste with salmon flaked through?
thank you, i’m looking forward to making them soon!
