Instructions

  1. 1

    Heat 3 tablespoons of oil in a small skillet over medium heat and fry the sliced shallots and garlic for 3 to 4 minutes until golden and crisp, then drain on paper towels, reserving the flavored oil.

  2. 2

    Meanwhile, fry the quartered potatoes in a few inches of oil at 350°F for 6 to 8 minutes until tender and lightly golden (or boil until soft), then drain well and mash them smooth while still warm.

  3. 3

    Fold the fried shallots and garlic, sliced scallions, ground white pepper, salt, ground nutmeg, and one beaten egg into the mashed potato until evenly combined, then shape the mixture into 12 oval patties about 1/2 inch thick.

  4. 4

    Dip each patty in the second beaten egg and pan-fry in 2 tablespoons of the reserved oil over medium heat for 2 to 3 minutes per side, until deeply golden and crisp. Drain briefly and serve warm alongside rice and soup.
