HAM AND POTATO CAKES

Preparation Method :

• Combine grated potatoes and onion. Place in a large sieve and squeeze out all excess liquid.
• Put the potato and onion mixture into a mixing bowl. Mix in half the chopped ham and season well with salt and pepper. Divide into 4-6 equal portions and shape into rounds.
• Heat half of the butter in a large frying pan. Cook ham and potato cakes over medium heat for about 7-8 minutes on each side or until golden and cooked through.
• Heat the remaining butter in a clean saucepan. Stir-fry breadcrumbs for about 5-7 minutes over low heat or until crisp and golden. Remove from heat.
• Add the remaining chopped ham, parsley and grated cheese to fried breadcrumbs. Spoon the mixture equally over the top of each potato cake. Serve immediately.
