Potato and Chestnut Patties

• Cooked potato (boiled or baked), mashed
• Carrot, raw, grated
• Water chestnuts, peeled, grated

Use approximately equal parts of all ingredients. Mix all together. Season with salt, pepper, and a dash of ginger juice or grated ginger; stir in a dusting of cornstarch (approximately 1 teaspoon per cup of mixture). Shape into small patties of 1-inch diameter. Pan-fry until golden on both sides.
