This is a traditional Chinese dish popular in most Cantonese households.

You will notice that the ingredients and seasonings differ from most Western mashed potato patties. The most significant difference is that my mother added ground pork to the recipe. The pork alters the texture and flavor of the patty, making it a perfect accompaniment for plain rice, as is the norm in Chinese cuisine.

Note: Since ground beef is more popular in most Western countries than pork, you can use it as an alternative to pork if you want to try this recipe.
