Use up those leftovers in the fridge with these yummy stuffed potato cakes. I used leftover bolognese but you could fill them with savoury mince or taco mince as well. Just don’t forget the cheese for extra melty ooziness.
Ingredients
- 3-4 cups leftover mashed potato
- 1/2 cup plain flour
- 1/2 cup leftover bolognaise
- 1/2 cup grated tasty cheese
- 2 tbsp olive oil
Method
-
Step 1Mix mashed potato with plain flour. Combine cold bolognaise with greater cheese. Working with half-cup quantities, place potato in your palm and flatten into a disc. Place approximately 2tbsp mince and cheese mixture in the centre, then fold over the potato to form a patty. It is very pliable so you can use extra potato to seal any gaps or holes. Smooth the potato and place on a tray or plate. Continue until you have used all of the mixture.
-
Step 2Heat 1 tbsp oil in a large non-stick frypan over medium heat. Cook patties for 3-4 minutes each side until golden, adding more oil if necessary. Keep warm in a low oven until all patties are cooked.
-
Step 3Serve immediately while hot.
Recipe Notes
Because the potato is a little sticky, dampen your hands with some water before shaping and filling the patties.
If you don’t have any leftover mashed potato, you will need to boil about 800g potatoes for this quantity of patties.
