If you happen to have some leftover mash or pick up a pack from the
reduced section of the supermarket, these crispy, cheesy potato cakes
are the perfect thing to make!
Tip the mash into a mixing bowl and add the eggs, grated cheese,
flour and pepper. Mix to combine, just until the flour is fully
incorporated. You can keep the mixture plain or add in any of the
optional extras at this point.
Heat a large frying pan over a medium heat and add enough oil to coat
the base of the pan.
Use two tb to spoon small piles of mixture into the hot pan (each
potato cake should be around 1 to 2 cm (1/2 to 3/4") thick and 7 to 9
cm (2-3/4 to 3-1/2" across). Cook 3 to 4 potato cakes at a time,
making sure not to overcrowd the pan.
Cook over a medium heat for a couple of minutes, until a nice crust
has formed, and then flip over. Cook until both sides are crispy and
brown, turning occasionally, for a total of around 7 minutes.
Serve for breakfast, lunch or dinner--they're great with sausages and
beans or a fried egg and roasted tomatoes.
