Savoury patties

Savoury pattie is a traditional snack that's common in towns such as Hartlepool, Kingston upon Hull, Wirral, Liverpool, North Tyneside, Kirkwall, and Thurso. It consists of mashed potatoes that are seasoned with sage and onions, and the mixture is battered and deep-fried in hot oil. In fish and chips shops, savoury pattie is often consumed as an inexpensive replacement for fish, when paired with chips. There are a few savoury pattie variations, with added corned beef or cheese, but they aren't as popular as the original savoury pattie. Although these patties can be of various shapes, they're usually round or rectangular.
