Ingredients

  • 2 lbs potatoes
  • 1 teaspoon Fine sea salt
  • 1 teaspoon Fresh ground black pepper
  • 1 egg
  • ¼ cup green onions chopped
  • 3 oz extra sharp cheddar shredded

Instructions

  • Peel the potatoes and cut into them chunks. Boil them until just fork tender, then drain and leave to air dry in the hot pot for a few minutes.
  • Mash the potatoes with a potato masher until smooth. Set aside to cool to room temperature.
  • Add salt and pepper to taste. Now mix in the egg and the chopped herbs until both are completely incorporated.
  • Use a scoop or a tablespoon to divide the potatoes into about 26 pieces. I used a 2-tablespoon cookie dough scoop and got 27.
  • Cover with cling film and chill for a couple of hours.
  • Use damp hands to form the pieces of potato into patties. Optional: use the edge of a rubber spatula to pat the patties into square-ish shapes. This is totally unnecessary but I thought it made them look more like toast.
  • Slice your cheese thinly and set aside.
  • Put a non-stick griddle to heat over a medium flame. If your griddle is on the older side (and not as non-stick as it used to be), you might want to drizzle on a little canola or olive oil.
  • Put the patties a few at time on the griddle, making sure to leave enough room to get a spatula in to turn them.

  • Cook on the first side for several minutes or until the bottom is nicely browned.
  • Carefully turn the patties over and cook the other side till browned.
  • Add the cheese to half of the patties and put the other half of the patties on top. Since the patties are hot, it will take just a minute or so for the cheese to melt.
  • Remove them to a platter and add the next batch of patties to the griddle. Repeat process until all the potato patty grilled cheese bites are done. Garnish with more chopped herbs, if desired.

Notes

To make these ahead of time, stop at after step 10 and cool the patties on a wire rack. These can be refrigerated until you are ready to add the cheese. Use the griddle to warm the patties on both sides before adding the cheese.
