An awesome weekend brunch for the whole family!

For four servings you’ll need

• 5 medium potatoes (1 lb), peeled and boiled
• 12 oz (454 g)canned ham, or luncheon meat, finely chopped
• 1 medium onion, peeled and finely chopped
• 1 egg, beaten
• 1/8 tsp pepper

Preparation

• Mash the potatoes thoroughly
• Mix in the meat and onion
• Add egg and pepper
• Assess mixture — see Tips below
• Divide mixture into 16 equal portions
• Form each portion into 2 inch diameter patties on a floured board
• Fry in shallow vegetable oil on both sides until golden brown

Tips

• If mixture is lean and dry, mix in a couple of teaspoons of butter or add an extra half egg. If mixture is too moist, mix in a few tablespoons of dry bread crumbs or oatmeal. A nice balance is required to make sure it forms into patties well.

Good served with

• Mixed vegetables and sliced tomatoes.
