The dish is prepared without unnecessary complications. These oatmeal patties can be served with sour cream and any sauce, including soy sauce. If you are preparing oatmeal patties for young children, it's better to avoid adding spices. The dish is ready to be served.

Step 1
Pour boiling water over the oatmeal and let it steep for about 10–15 minutes. Meanwhile, prepare the onion and egg. Keep in mind that oatmeal from different manufacturers may behave differently, so be prepared to add a bit more boiling water than specified in the recipe.

Step 2
Now take an onion, peel it and grate it on a grater. We grate the onion because oat cutlets cook very quickly, and if we add chopped onion, it won't have time to cook through. Transfer the grated onion to a plate.

Step 3
Beat the egg. You can use a fork or a whisk, whichever is more convenient for you. It doesn't need to be particularly fluffy—just mix until you get a uniform consistency.

Step 4
Now we move on to the most important part of our recipe—the oat patties themselves. Mix the oatmeal mixture, then add onion, egg, pepper, and salt to taste. Oats have no strong flavor or aroma of their own, so they make an excellent base for any spices and additions. I especially love adding rosemary, savory, or basil.

Step 5
Heat a frying pan, add a couple of tablespoons of vegetable oil, and spoon the patties onto the pan. Dip the spoon in water each time before taking the mixture, so the patty mixture slides off easily. Fry the patties on both sides until golden brown, then remove from the pan and place on a plate. That's how easy it is to make oatmeal patties.
