Ingredients

• 3 medium Russet potatoes
• 2 cups Broccoli florets
• 1 cup Shredded cheddar cheese
• 0.5 cup Breadcrumbs
• 0.25 cup All-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon Onion powder
• 2 large Eggs
• 3 tablespoons Olive oil
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Ground black pepper

Directions

Step 1

Peel the potatoes and chop them into chunks. Boil them in salted water for 10-12 minutes or until fork-tender.

Step 2

While the potatoes are boiling, steam the broccoli florets for 5-7 minutes until they are tender but still bright green. Set aside to cool slightly.

Step 3

Drain the cooked potatoes and mash them in a large mixing bowl until smooth.

Step 4

Finely chop the steamed broccoli and add it to the mashed potatoes.

Step 5

Mix in the shredded cheddar cheese, breadcrumbs, flour, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper. Stir until fully combined.

Step 6

Crack the eggs into the mixture and mix again to create a sticky, cohesive dough.

Step 7

Form the mixture into small, flat medallion-shaped patties, about 2 inches in diameter.

Step 8

Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium heat.

Step 9

Cook the medallions in batches, frying each side for 3-4 minutes, or until golden brown and crispy. Add more oil to the pan as needed between batches.

Step 10

Once cooked, place the medallions on a plate lined with paper towels to drain any excess oil.

Step 11

Serve the Potato and Broccoli Medallions warm as an appetizer, snack, or side dish. Optional: pair with your favorite dipping sauce such as ranch, aioli, or marinara.
