Hearty baked patties made from potatoes, sunflower seeds, and onions — suitable as a main dish, sandwich filling, or protein-rich side.

Yield: 12 patties (10 cm / 4 inches each) | Prep: 30 min | Bake: 30 min | Total: 60 min

Ingredients

• 600 g (21.2 oz) potatoes
• 3 dl (1.25 cups) sunflower seeds
• 205 g (7.2 oz) bell pepper
• 210 g (7.4 oz) onion
• 30 g (1.1 oz) fresh parsley, or to taste
• 2 garlic cloves
• 2 tsp salt
• 1 tsp onion powder
• 1 tsp garlic powder
• ½ tsp dried thyme

Instructions

1. Finely grate the potatoes by hand or using a food processor. Transfer to a bowl and set aside. Prepare the remaining ingredients.
2. Grind the sunflower seeds in a blender until finely ground. Transfer to a separate bowl.
3. Finely chop the onion and bell pepper by hand or using a food processor. Transfer to a bowl.
4. Finely chop the parsley and press the garlic.
5. If the potatoes have released a lot of liquid, drain off most of it. Retaining a small amount of liquid helps prevent dryness.
6. Add all prepared ingredients to a large bowl.
7. Add the salt, onion powder, garlic powder, and thyme.
8. Mix thoroughly by hand until evenly combined.
9. Preheat the oven to 150°C (300°F) using the convection (hot-air) setting.
10. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
11. Shape the mixture into patties by hand or using your preferred shaping tool.
12. Bake for 30 minutes.
13. Remove from the oven and allow the patties to cool slightly before serving.
