Meat and Potato Patties

Ingredients: (Serves 2)
250g. ground pork
1/2 cups potatoes (finely shredded)
1 tbsp. onion (finely chopped)
1 tbsp. spring onion (chopped)
1/2 egg (beaten)
1 dash of salt
1 tbsp. cooking oil
1 cup water
3 tbsp tomato sauce
1/2 tbsp. plain flour
1 tbsp. water

Methods:

1. In a large bowl, combine ground pork, potatoes, onions, spring onions, egg and salt.  Shape into 5 patties; press to flatten slightly.  In a large skillet or pan, heat 1 tbsp. cooking oil over medium high heat.  Brown patties on both sides, drain.  Add water and tomato sauce, simmer, covered, until meat is cooked.  Remove patties to a serving platter.
2. In the same skillet/pan, whisk flour into water, gradually add to skillet.  Reduce heat to medium-low; cook, stirring constantly, until thickened.  Remove from heat and spoon over patties.  Serve immediately.

Note:

This patties can be served with rice in a Chinese meal, or as a Western meal, with sides of your choice.  I served mine as a Western Dinner with Salad.

I adapted this recipe from 'Taste of Home' by Gladys Klein, Burlington Wisconsin, with some amendment to suit my cooking preference.
