 Amount  Measure       Ingredient -- Preparation Method
--------  ------------  --------------------------------
  1      x 212g        packet instant mashed potato mix
125      g             closed cup mushrooms -- quartered
  6                    spring onions -- roughly chopped
  5      tbsp          sunflower oil
 50      g             freshly grated Parmesan cheese -- plus
  1      tbsp          freshly grated Parmesan cheese -- to garnish
                       salt and freshly ground black pepper
                       peach or spiced fruit chutney -- to serve

1. Measure 700ml boiling water into a bowl, then add the potato mix
stirring continuously. Stand for 1 minute, then beat until creamy and
smooth. Leave to stand for 5-10 minutes until cool enough to handle.

2. Finely chop the mushrooms and onions in a food processor. Heat 2 tbsp
oil in a large non-stick frying pan, add the mushroom mixture and cook for
1-2 minutes until just soft. Add to the potato with the cheese and season
well.

3. Divide the mixture into eight and shape into large sausages on a
floured surface.

4. Wipe the pan with kitchen paper, then heat the remaining oil. Fry the
sausages for 4-5 minutes, carefully turning once with a non-stick spatula
or palette knife. Take care not to spoil their golden crust.

5. Scatter over the remaining cheese and serve at once with the chutney,
freshly cooked vegetables or a green salad.

NOTES : These simple potato patties have stacks of flavour. You can grill
      the sausages if you wish, but they are crisper and more golden
      when fried.
