| POTATO CAKES Makes 8 – 10 cakes, for six people as a side dish and goes well with the chicken and fish dishes, or as a main course for four people, served with a green salad. Ingredients: 6 medium potatoes, grated 1 medium onion, finely chopped 1 tsp salt 1 tsp ground black pepper 5 tsp vegetable oil 1 tbsp of fresh coriander finely chopped Method: Peel the potatoes and boil them in a saucepan of water for 10 - 15 minutes until soft. Drain. Transfer the boiled potatoes to a bowl and mash them roughly. Add the chopped onion, salt, black ground pepper and the coriander. Take a spoonful of the mixture in your hand and roll it into a small ball. Repeat until all the mixture is finished. Flatten each ball and fry for 5 minutes approximately until they become golden. Note: this is a good variation on a basic potato dish and travels well for snacks and packed lunches. |
