Ingredients

Grass Fed NZ Lamb Mince 500g x 1 pack

3 large potatoes

1 onion, finely chopped

1 egg

Salt

Pepper

Oil for pan-frying

Optional: garlic, parsley, chilli flakes, and grated cheese

Method

Boil the potatoes until soft. Drain well, then mash and set aside to cool slightly.

Heat a pan with a little oil. Add the onion and cook until soft.

Add the lamb mince, season with salt and pepper, and cook until browned. Break the mince up as it cooks.

In a bowl, combine the mashed potato, cooked lamb mince, and egg. Mix until everything holds together.

Shape the mixture into small patties. If the mixture feels too soft, chill it in the fridge for 10–15 minutes before cooking.

Heat oil in a pan over medium heat. Pan-fry the potato cakes for a few minutes on each side until golden and crisp.

Serve warm with salad, yoghurt dip, tomato sauce, or gravy.

Tips

Use leftover mashed potato to make this even quicker.

Make smaller cakes for lunch boxes or easy snacks.

Coat the patties with bread crumb before frying if a crunchier texture is desired.
