FRIED POTATO CAKES

Steps:

• 1. In medium size bowl, beat the egg. Add the cold potatoes, chopped onion, flour and seasonings. Mix well. If mixture seems too thick, add a small amount of milk to make mixture the consistence of peanut butter (thick, not as runny as pancake batter). 2. Put approximately 1/4 cup oil in large skillet over medium heat and allow to heat pan before adding the mixture. When heated, use a serving spoon and drop a spoonful of mixture into the hot oil. Leave a little space between each to allow browning and make it easier to turn each one over. 3. As each one browns on bottom, turn over and brown the other side. Do not rush the browning so the inside will have sufficient time to cook throughly. Medium to dark brown is best. 4. Remove from oil and place on paper towels to drain. Serve warm.

CRISPY FRIED MASHED POTATOES

Steps:

• Heat a heavy, thick frying pan until a droplet of water evaporates immediately if you flick it inches (DO NOT put any oil or fat of any sort in the pan, the potatoes WILL stick if you do).
• Tip in your mashed potatoes and spread out to cover the pan base.
• Cook on a medium heat and turn and shake occasionally.
• Turn over in parts (it isn't like an omelette, don't worry if it breaks).
• Keep frying until you have a solid crispy shell around it and a nice creamy center.
• Enjoy with a spicy tomato sauce or ketchup and mayonnaise.

POTATO CROQUETTES (CRISPY DEEP FRIED MASHED POTATOES!)

Steps:

• Mix the mashed potatoes, egg, parsley, salt and pepper until well combined.
• Place the flour, beaten egg and breadcrumbs in three separate trays or bowls.
• Take a handful of potato mixture, shaping into a log shape or ball, and dip into flour, then egg and then breadcrumbs; repeat (yes, do it twice, it's worth it!) I love these stainless steel trays for dipping.
• Place on a plate or tray (dusted with cornmeal or breadcrumbs) and refrigerate for about an hour.
• When ready to cook/eat, heat some grape seed or peanut oil in a small pot, over medium high heat, so that the croquettes may be deep fried.
• Fry two or three at a time, depending on how many fit, carefully turning (with tongs) once, until evenly browned. Remove, and place on towel-lined plate to cool a little.
• Continue with the rest of the potato mixture until it is all finished. You can keep the first ones hot in the oven, until the rest are done. Serve hot, on their own with HP Sauce, or as a side.
