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.
