Vegan veggie patties

I hate wasting food, it's in my DNA.  On a zoom family meeting we were making fun of ourselves and saying that when we throw away a jar only if it's really empty.   My uncle Jean-Luc was telling us that when he was growing up, his mom ( my grandma) was instructing him to srape the shell of eggs.  I waste food, I don't scrape egg shells! OMG.  

Anyway today I have mashed potatoes that I don't want to go bad so I'm making vegan patties out of it. I'm adding proteins by using nutritional yeast and chia seeds.

Vegan veggie patties

Ingredients 

1 cup                                                                  Left over mashed potatoes
1                                                                          Scallion 

3 tablespoons                                                  Nutritional yeast 

1 tablespoon                                                    Chia seed

1/2 cup (divided)                                            Bread crumbs
1/2 pinch                                                          Cayenne  pepper 

1 tablespoon                                                    Oil

Salt and pepper to taste.

Directions

First I have to tell you that I make mashed potatoes with carrots, vegetable stock and, sometimes, turnip.

Mix all the ingredients except 1/4 of the breadcrumbs.   Form 2 large patties or 4 small ones, roll them in the remaining 1/4 cup of breadcrumbs, spread on a plate.

Brown in a pan with a little oil, about 3 minutes on each side on medium heat.

I thought I would eat the 2 patties but one was enough for me.

Let me know if you try it.
