I love potatoes in any form and my favourite being the mashed version. Most cases, I always have some mash leftover. Besides just having another serving another day, I always like to try and make it a little more interesting. This time we are doing potato cakes and here is a simple recipe for it.

Ingredients

• 4cups left over mash
• 1 diced onion
• 1tsp Crushed garlic
• 1 cup cooked Carrots diced
• ½cup cooked peas
• 1 cup crumbs
• 1 egg
• Seasoning (salt, pepper, herbs)
• Oil to fry

Instructions

• 1. In a bowl, mix the mashed potatoes, garlic, onion, vegetables (can add any of your choice), crumbs, seasoning and egg. Mix till combined.
• 2. Flour your hands and form portions of the mixture into sizeable rounds. If the mixture is too sticky add a few more crumbs.
• 3. Heat some oil in a pan. Fry till golden and flip over. Drain excess oil on some paper towel.
• 4. And there you have it.. Can be served with your choice of sauce and protein. Enjoy your potato cakes!
