Many will argue that its origin lies in the port of Kingston upon Hull, East Yorkshire (or Humberside), where it is readily available from Fish and Chip Shops (Chippys) and Takeaways.<br /> <br /> <br /> <b><span style="color:#003399;">Ingredients of a Pattie</span></b><br /> <br /> The Pattie is a mix of mashed potato blended with the herb <i>Sage</i>, and sometimes onion. These ingredients are formed into a disc (although sometimes a square), and frozen for storage. To cook, simply cover the frozen Pattie in batter mix and deep fry.<br /> <br /> There are several variations of the Pattie, such as the Meat Pattie (with added Corned Beef) and the Cheese Pattie (Cheese and Onion); But the standard sage, onion and potato pattie remains the all time classic.<br /> <br /> <br /> <b><span style="color:#003399;">How to serve a Pattie</span></b><br /> <br /> The photograph above shows a half eaten circular Pattie, served with Chips and Scraps. The pattie can either replace or compliment battered fish. Additionally, Patties can be eaten in a Breadcake which form a dish known as the 'Pattie Butty', or 'Patty Butty'.<br /> <br /> <i><b><span style="color:#666666;">Note:<br /> Chips</span></b><span style="color:#666666;"> - Everyone knows what chips are so there will be no further explanation<br /> <b>Scraps</b> - Small pieces of deep fried Batter Mix</span></i><span style="color:#666666;">.<i> Scraps are extremely unhealthy, but taste extremely good.</i></span><i><br /> </i><br /> <br /> <b><span style="color:#003399;">The Pattie Butty</span></b><br /> <br /> The <i><b>Pattie Butty</b></i> is simply a Pattie served in a Breadcake.<br /> </span></p> <b><span style="font-family:Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;font-size:85%;"><i><span style="color:#666666;">Note:<br /> Bread Cake</span></i></span></b><span style="font-family:Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;font-size:85%;color:#666666;"><i> - A circular bread product. Sine the early 1500's, students from around Great Britain have debated and argued long and hard, for many hours, about the nomenclature of small bread based products.
