Ingredients

  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 medium onion diced
  • 1 clove garlic crushed
  • 400 g cold mashed potatoes
  • 125 g cheddar cheese grated
  • 4 spring onions chopped
  • 150 g sweetcorn
  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano
  • 1 tablespoon chopped parsley
  • Freshly grated salt and pepper to season

Instructions

  • Pre-heat oven to 180C Fan and lightly oil a baking tray.
  • Gently heat the olive oil in a frying pan and sauté the onion and garlic together for about 4 - 5 minutes until softened. Be careful not to burn the garlic.
  • In a large bowl combine the cooked onion and garlic with the cold mashed potatoes, cheese, spring onions, sweetcorn, oregano and parsley. Season with the salt and pepper.
  • Using your hands roll the potato mixture into 6 to 8 balls. Place each ball onto the baking tray and flatten them out until they're about 1.5cm / 1 inch thick each.*
  • Place into fridge for about half an hour then bake in the centre of an oven for about 20 minutes until lightly golden brown. Serve warm.**

Notes

*If your potato mixture is too wet, add a little plain flour to soak up the moisture so that they're easier to roll out into balls.
**I served these leftover mashed potato cakes with an iceberg lettuce salad and some garlic mayonnaise.
