Garlic Chicken & Potato Patties (Electric Grill)
Nutrition per Serving
Think of these as draniki's high-protein cousin. Grated potato mixed with ground chicken, bound with egg and a touch of flour, then pressed on a contact grill until golden and crispy. The grill marks add texture that you just can't get from a pan.
The key is squeezing the excess water from the grated potato — skip this step and you'll end up with a soggy mess instead of crispy patties. A quick soak in cold water removes surface starch, and a good squeeze after draining gets rid of the moisture.

Instructions
-
Step 1: Grate and soak the potatoes
Peel and grate on the coarse side. Soak in cold water for 5 minutes, then drain and squeeze out as much liquid as possible. This removes excess starch and prevents soggy patties.
-
Step 2: Mix the batter
Combine the squeezed potato, ground chicken, egg, flour, garlic powder, salt, and pepper in a bowl. Mix until evenly combined.
-
Step 3: Preheat the grill
Heat your electric contact grill to 375°F (190°C). Lightly spray both grill plates with oil.
-
Step 4: Grill the patties
Divide the mixture into 2–3 portions and spread onto the grill. Close the lid and cook for 12–15 minutes until golden brown with visible grill marks. The chicken should reach an internal temp of 165°F (74°C).
