| Chives
are related to onion and garlic and add a tasty
twist to these potato cakes. They can be made
with leftover mashed potatoes but they are
so good, you won't mind starting from scratch.
The mashed potatoes aside, the Chive and Potato
Cakes can be ready in less than 15 minutes
so would be ideal for breakfast with a couple
of rashers of bacon and some fried mushrooms
or have them as an afternoon snack. |

1
lb potatoes
1 cup of plain flour
2 tbsp olive oil
2 tbsp chopped chives
salt and black pepper
- Unless you have leftover mashed potatoes
start by peeling the potatoes,
cut them
into roughly even sizes and boil in salted
water for 20 minutes.
- Remove potatoes from the heat, drain them
and throw a knob of butter into the pot.
- Mash the potatoes, working out any lumps.
- Add oil, flour and chives to the mashed
potato, season with a little salt and pepper.
- Mix until the mixture becomes soft and
doughy.
- Heat a little oil in a heavy frying
pan or skillet until it is hot but
not smoking.
- Seperate and mould the potato dough
into 6 patties and cook them in the hot
pan for about 7 minutes each side until
they are toasty golden brown and cooked
right through.
