Aloo (Potato) Tikki

Introduction:
Perfect for breakfast or a midday snack! Tikkis are patties made usually of cooked veggies, fried in ghee so they're crisp on the outside.

Ingredients:
Leftovers from this recipe - 2 cups
Ghee or oil - 2-3 tbsp

Cooking time: 10 min

Servings: about 3-4 tikkis.

Method:
Take a handful of potato leftovers and press it into a flat disk about the size of your palm and about 1" thick (thick enough so it doesn't fall apart, but thin enough for it to heat all the way through). Heat a flat pan and coat with some ghee/oil. Place the tikkis, a few at a time, on the pan and fry until both surfaces are golden brown, adding more ghee if necessary. Enjoy with Sriracha and some eggs for breakfast!

Note: Unsalted butter would work instead of ghee/oil, but it has a lower smoking point so make sure the potato soaks it up before it's all ruined!
