Ingredients

• 1 egg
• 3 green onions, finely chopped
• 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
• 1 cup finely chopped cooked ham
• 0.5 teaspoon ground black pepper
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 teaspoon dried dill weed

Recipe Instructions

Step 1

Mix together mashed potatoes, ham, green onions, 1/4 cup bread crumbs, egg, Dijon mustard, dill weed, salt, and black pepper in a large bowl until thoroughly combined. If mixture is too moist to hold together, mix in an additional 1/4 cup bread crumbs.

Step 2

Place remaining bread crumbs into a shallow bowl.

Step 3

Scoop about 1/3 cup of the mixture and form into a ball; slightly flatten into a patty. Press both sides of patty into bread crumbs; tap off any loose crumbs. Repeat with remaining mixture.

Step 4

Heat oil in a large skillet over medium heat until very hot. Fry patties, 2 to 3 at a time, in hot oil until golden brown, 3 to 4 minutes per side. Drain on a paper towel-lined plate.
