Ingredients

• 6 large potatoes
• 8-10 sausages
• 1 large onion
• Garlic
• Mushrooms
• Mixed herbs
• Milk or butter
• 1 egg
• Flour
• Salt & pepper
• Wedge of Stilton

Method

1. Boil the potatoes with the skins still on.
2. Grill or fry the sausages and then chop into small pieces.
3. Fry the garlic with a little olive oil; add the mushrooms and onion.
4. Mash the potatoes; add the chopped-up sausages along with the garlic, onion, mushroom mix and Stilton. Add salt, pepper, mixed herbs and a whisked egg. Fold through the mash. Add a little butter or milk to ensure the mixture is smooth. Mix again, folding through and ensuring the mixture is not lumpy.
5. Once the mixture is cool, make into cakes.
6. Put some flour into a bowl and cover the cakes in flour.
7. Using a hot pan, place 4 cakes into the pan; cook for 2-3 minutes each side until crisp and brown.
8. Repeat with another 4 cakes and then serve two cakes per person, with side salad and dressing.
