Cheesy Potato Cakes

Cook Time 30 minutes

Serves 4

Ingredients

500g leftover mashed potato

3 tbsp potato flour, plus extra for dusting

200g mozzarella, cut into small cubes

Salt and white pepper

Oil, for shallow frying

Method

Combine the potato, potato flour, salt, and pepper with a wooden spoon. The mixture should be soft but hold its shape. Add a touch more potato flour if it feels sticky.

Take a few heaped tablespoons of potato mixture and cup it in your hand, making an indent. Add a cube of mozzarella, wrap the potato around it and shape it into a patty.

Heat oil in a frying pan over medium heat. Lightly dust the cakes with potato flour, and fry for 2–3 minutes per side, until golden and crisp.

Drain on a paper towel and serve.
