Ingredients

• about 450g/1 lb mashed potato

• about 225g/8 oz shredded cooked cabbage or kale

• 1 egg, beaten

• 115g/4 oz grated Cheddar cheese

• pinch of parsley grated nutmeg

• salt and ground black pepper

• Plain flour, for coating oil, for frying

Serves 4

Method:

1. Mix the potatoes with the cabbage or kale, egg, cheese, nutmeg and seasoning. Divide and shape into eight patties.

2. Chill in the fridge for an hour or so, if possible, as this enables the mixture to become firm and makes it easier to fry. Toss the patties in the flour. Heat about 1cm/1/2 in oil in a frying pan until it is quite hot.

3. Carefully slide the patties into the oil and fry on each side for about 3 minutes until golden and crisp. Drain on kitchen paper and serve hot and crisp.
