Combine the mashed vegetables with the breadcrumbs, black pepper and salt, mixing until it holds together well.
- 2
Shape the cutlets
Divide into 8 portions and shape each into a flat patty.
- 3
Coat
Roll each patty in extra breadcrumbs to coat evenly on all sides.
- 4
Heat the oil
Heat the sunflower oil in a wide pan over medium heat until shimmering.
- 5
Fry
Shallow-fry the cutlets in batches, 3–4 minutes per side, until deep golden and crisp, without overcrowding the pan.

Drain and serve
Drain on paper towels and serve hot with Nitra Tomato Ketchup or Nitra Mint Chutney.
Chill the shaped cutlets for 15 minutes before frying if you have time — it helps them hold together better in the hot oil.
