Ingredients
3/4 cup water
1/4 tsp salt
8 oz all-purpose potatoes --
1 pared and cut in

2 cloves garlic -- peeled
1/2 cup plus 2 tablespoons grated
1 parmesan cheese
1 1/2 cup finely diced cooked chicken

1 ounces)
1 egg -- separated
2 tbsp chopped parsley
2 tsp lemon juice
3 tbsp fine dry bread crumbs
3 tbsp olive oil --or: vegetable
1 oil
1 lemon wedges (optional)
Directions
1. Bring water and 1/8 teaspoon salt to boiling in small saucepan.
Add potato and garlic; boil gently, uncovered, for 15 to 20 minutes
or until potato is tender. Mash potato and garlic with water until
creamy. Stir in 1/2 cup Parmesan. Transfer to large bowl. Let stand
until potatoes come to room temperature. 2. Stir in chicken, egg
yolk, parsley and lemon juice. Beat egg white in small bowl until
stiff but not dry peaks form. Fold into chicken mixture. Form into 8
elongated patties. 3. Combine bread crumbs and remaining 2
tablespoons Parmesan cheese in shallow pie plate or on sheet of waxed
paper. Dredge patties in crumb mixture; place on plate. Refrigerate
patties, covered, for at least 1 hour or for up to 3 hours before
sauteing. 4. Heat oil in large skillet over moderate heat. When oil
is very hot, add patties; cook until golden brown and crisp, about 3
minutes per side. Serve with lemon wedges, if you wish.
Makes 8 patties.
Notes: One cup of leftover mashed potatoes can be substituted for the
cooked all-purpose potatoes in Step 1. Add just enough hot water,
about 1/4 cup, to loosen potatoes and make them creamy. Continue with
Step 1 in recipe.

The History of Recipes
Written cooking instructions as an idea can be found far back into distant history, in truth as far back into recorded history as pharonic Egypt, and maybe even further. In practice though, these, ancient cookbooks were just simple pictorial instructions for food preparation.
Much later, in Roman times a man called Apicius assembled some documents which described recipes enjoyed by the Romans. In his scrolls, Apicius recounts how the meals were separated into starters, main course and dessert, a very modern way of dining. Aspicius informs us how the cooks of Roman times used a wide range of herbs, including a few you will know such as thyme, fennel and asafoetida. Later on, in the 15th century, the Crusaders brought back many new foods, spices and herbs from Arab cooking, including spices like parsley and basil. These new culinary innovations was responsible for an increase in recipe manuscripts, most of which still exist in private collections. The TV revolution brought us celebrity chefs and the spin-off recipe books. And that brings us to the present day and the invention of the internet, allowing everybody to access thousands of recipes just like those on this web site. |
