For the Patty Filling:
- 3 large Yukon Gold potatoes
- ½ cup frozen peas
- ¼ cup chopped onion
- 1 ½ teaspoons curry powder
- ½ teaspoon ground ginger
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ¼ teaspoon black pepper
For Cooking and Coating:
- ½ cup gluten-free flour blend
- 3 Tablespoons vegan buttery spread
- 2 Tablespoons canola oil
- A couple dashes of salt for flour seasoning
- Prepare the Potatoes: Bake the Yukon Gold potatoes at 400°F (200°C) for 45-60 minutes until tender when pierced with a fork. Let cool enough to handle, then carefully remove their skins to create a smooth filling.
- Sauté the Onions and Peas: In a skillet, melt 1 tablespoon of vegan buttery spread over medium heat. Add chopped onion and frozen peas, sautéing about 5 minutes until onions are translucent and peas heated through. Retain any flavorful liquid in the pan.
- Mash and Spice the Potato Filling: In a large bowl, combine the baked potatoes (skin removed) with the sautéed onion and peas. Add curry powder, ground ginger, ½ teaspoon salt, black pepper, and 1 tablespoon vegan buttery spread. Mash all ingredients until well combined and mostly smooth, forming a thick mixture that holds together.
- Prepare for Frying: In a shallow bowl, mix gluten-free flour with a couple dashes of salt. Line a plate with paper towels for draining fried patties.
- Fry the Samosa Patties: Heat the remaining 1 tablespoon vegan buttery spread and 2 tablespoons canola oil in a large frying pan over medium heat until sizzling. Shape the potato mixture into about 8 round patties, ½ inch thick. Dredge each patty evenly in the seasoned gluten-free flour. Carefully place the patties into the hot pan without overcrowding and cook for about 3 minutes per side until golden brown and crispy. Remove patties and drain excess oil on the paper towel-lined plate. Repeat frying remaining patties, adding more oil and buttery spread if needed. Serve warm.
Notes
- Use Yukon Gold potatoes for the best creamy texture and flavor.
- Adjust curry powder quantity to your preferred spice level.
- Do not over-mash the potatoes; some texture helps the patties hold better.
- Be sure to use a gluten-free all-purpose flour blend intended for cooking and frying.
- Frying at medium heat ensures crispy patties without burning.
- These patties are best served fresh and warm for the crispest texture.
