Make the patty. Place an eggplant slice onto a plate and carefully spread about two tbsp. (or more, depending on how big the slice is) of mashed potatoes on top. Cover the mashed potatoes with another eggplant slice.

Step 4

Dip the eggplant patty into the batter and then cover with breadcrumbs all over.
