Author Notes

Rice is a staple in our house and we almost always have some excess that needs to be used up. Besides making fried rice, I love making this quick rice patties. It is easy to throw together with ingredients you have on hand and can be served with or without a chutney on the side. I drew inspiration from the rice cutlet recipe on veg recipes of India. —Dhivya Subramanian

The flavor is excellent. If I had everything ready, it would go together very quickly.
An 8 oz sweet potato mashed up to the 1/2 cup needed. It wasn't moist enough, so I added about 2 Tb of a garlic mayo, as well as 1/4 tsp black pepper.
Even my suspicious husband liked them!
