This is a recipe for a potato patty or cake(NOT a sweet pudding type) which is excellent for breakfast or a light snack, especially when as is traditional it is topped with a poached egg.

Savoury Potato Cakes

Ingredients:
2 rashers of Bacon (Diced)
1 small leek or onion (finely chopped)
2 oz mushrooms
8 oz cold mashed potato
Pepper and salt (to season)
1 egg (beaten)
3 tablespoons fine oatmeal
Oil for frying


Method:
Put the bacon, Leek(or onion) and Mushrooms in a frying pan (if Bacon is fatty, you should not require any oil) and cook gently until the vegetables have softened. Set this aside to cool.

Mash the potato well in a bowl and then add the mixture. Season to taste (you should need VERY little, if indeed any, salt) Mix well and shape into flat cakes (patties) approx 1/4 inch thick. Dip into the beaten egg, coat with oatmeal and fry in thehot oil until lightly browned on each side.
Serve hot either on their own or as an extra dish for a main course.

As with all recipes which involve cooking and baking a sensible approach must be taken especially when dealing with warm or hot (temperature) ingredients. If you are unable to take due care, please do not attempt to make any of these recipes. All recipes are tried at your own risk.
