Indian Potato Patties

1.       Place potatoes in a saucepan and cover with cold water. Bring to a boil, reduce heat and simmer 15-20 minutes or until potatoes are tender. Drain; mash with a potato masher or pass through a ricer.

2.      In a skillet, heat oil over medium heat. Add onion, ginger and garlic; cook, stirring frequently, until onion starts to brown.

3.      Stir in chili powder, coriander, cumin and salt; cook for 1 minute. In a bowl, fold together potatoes, onion mixture and cilantro. Form into 8 patties.(May be done ahead of time and refrigerated until needed.)

4.      Heat a skillet or griddle and coat lightly with cooking spray. Fry patties 3-4 minutes on each side or until golden brown. Serve with yogurt, if desired.
