Step-by-step recipe

check things off as you go

  1. Prep the potatoes

    Peel the potatoes and cut them into even cubes so they cook evenly.

  2. Boil the water

    Fill the saucepan with cold water, add a pinch of salt and bring to a boil.

  3. Cook the potatoes

    Drop the potato cubes into the boiling water and cook for 15 min over medium heat.

    Tip · For really soft potatoes, check that they mash easily with a fork before draining them.

  4. Cook the green beans

    Add the frozen green beans to the same saucepan and cook for 5 more min.

  5. Drain the vegetables

    Drain the vegetables in the colander and keep them warm.

  6. Cook the patties

    Heat the oil in the skillet over high heat, add the patties and cook them 3-4 min per side, depending on how you like them.

    Tip · Let the patties rest off the heat for 2 min before serving so they stay juicy.

  7. Mash the potatoes

    Mash the drained potatoes with the milk, butter, salt and pepper until smooth.

And there you go, it's readyCheck off every step to celebrate.
