This is a good recipe for using up potato and left over veg, I used spinach but equally you could you use finally chopped kale, sweet potato etc. This is so good with bacon, roasted tomatoes (with harissa, olive oil and balsamic vinegar in oven for 15 minutes) and poached egg. You could also top with baked beans and cheese, fried egg – the choice is yours!
- 1 egg
- Bunch of spring onion
- 2 x small white potatoes (about the size of your fist)
- Salt and Pepper
- Few handfuls of baby spinach
Peel and grate your white potatoes and place on a couple of pieces of kitchen towel and pat to dry. Finely slice your spring onion and to a large bowl with a good pinch of sea salt and freshly ground pepper. Heat a medium frying pan and add a small knob of butter, when the butter is melted add your spinach stir fry until wilted, remove to a colander and pour cold water over the spinach. Squeeze to remove any excess water and then place on a board and finely chop. Add to the bowl with the grated potato, crack in the egg and stir to combine.
When you’re ready reheat the same frying pan on a medium heat with a tablespoon of olive oil. Form the potato mixture in to patties with your hands and when the oil is hot, add to the pan and fry for around 5 minutes on each side until golden brown and the potato is softened. Turn down the pan if they start to burn.
