Potato Cakes
Recipe: Angela Day
Makes 12
Ingredients
6 medium floury potatoes, peeled
1 bunch spring onions, white parts only, finely sliced
60ml fresh chives, finely chopped
60ml fresh parsley, finely chopped
45ml flour
125g feta, crumbled
250ml grated cheddar cheese
1 egg, lightly beaten, to bind
salt and pepper
olive oil for frying
Method
Cut the potatoes into chunks and boil in a pan of salted water for 15-20 minutes until soft.
Drain and roughly mash. Mix the mashed potatoes with herbs, flour, cheeses and egg.
Season well.
Using floured hands, scoop up large balls of the potato mixture, roll and flatten slightly to form patties. Place on a floured tray. Rest in the fridge for an hour.
Heat 15ml olive oil in a frying pan and fry a few cakes at a time for 2-3 minutes each side, until golden. Add more oil to fry the rest. Serve warm.
