Easy Potato Patties

This is an ideal solution for when you have a few leftover boiled potatoes or any pie that has a mash topping. You can make it with leftover cottage pie or even fish pie.

Ingredients:

• 3 boiled potatoes or any quantity of leftover pie made with mash.
• herbs or curry spices, optional
  
• 1 beaten egg
• 1 cup breadcrumbs
• oil, for frying
  

Mash all of the potato with a fork and add some spices or herbs according to taste.
Shape the mix into even sized patties. You can make them burger size for a main course or croquette size for a snack.
Cover the patties with Breadcrumbs, then some egg, then more breadcrumbs. Put the patties on a plate and let them rest in the refrigerator for at least one hour.

Shallow fry for 3 minutes on each side.
Serve hot with salad or as part of a tapas meal.
