Kale and Potato Patties

The rain and thunder finally stopped, just when it seemed like it had been raining my whole life. It’s dark and cold outside and here I am tiptoeing into the kitchen. I snatched the leftover kale and potato patties from the fridge, topped it with fried and drizzle it with some vegetable gravy. I love how quiet things at this time…alone in the cold night I could listen to my own breath, and enjoying the last piece of a patty. 

These kale and potato patties is an ideal breakfast. It’s so easy to make and satisfying. Another great thing about these patties, you can make them using leftover potatoes and vegetable. You can also serve them with a fried egg on top and drizzle with some vegetable gravy for extra flavour
