Directions

1. Place the potato cubes in a steamer pot over boiling water and cook for 8 minutes.

2. Add the broccoli to the pot and steam for an additional 2 minutes, or until fork tender. Once done, remove everything from the pot and let cool in a bowl.

3. In another large bowl, mash the potatoes. Then, chop the broccoli into bite-size pieces.

4. Add the broccoli, cheese, 3 tablespoons panko, salt, egg, garlic, and onion powder to the bowl with the potatoes and combine.

5. Place the remaining 1⁄2 cup panko in a separate bowl.

6. Using an ice cream scoop or 2-tablespoon measure, roll the broccoli and cheese mixture into balls, coat them in the panko, and shape each one into a small patty.

7. Heat 1 Tablespoon of oil in a skillet over medium heat, place the patties in the skillet, and press down with a spatula to flatten a little.

8. Pan-fry for 3-4 minutes on each side until golden.

9. Serve with plain yogurt and a squeeze of lemon or with your child’s favorite dipping sauce.
