A savoury pattie is a battered and deep fried disc of mashed potato, seasoned with sage. It is commonly sold in the British port towns of Hartlepool, Kingston upon Hull, Wirral, Liverpool and Thurso.[1] It is a popular item in fish and chip shops, and is consumed as either a snack, or as an inexpensive substitute for fish in a fish and chip meal.

There are additional pattie variations such as the meat pattie (corned beef) and the cheese pattie (cheese and onion), although these are not as popular as the savoury version. In certain parts of the North East and Cumbria fish patties are available. These consist of a disc of minced fish sandwiched by two slices of potato (rather than mashed potato as in other patties) and covered in batter. Patties can be of various shapes but are usually round or rectangular. In Hull it may be consumed in a breadcake; this is known as the pattie buttie.
