This is a great recipe to make the most of left over mashed potatoes – very simple and a definite crowd pleaser.

Add about 3 cups of cold mashed potato to a large bowl

In a medium sized frying pan heat a couple of tablespoons of olive oil and sweat one finely chopped red onion and a couple of cloves of garlic. Add to the potato

Add a couple of cans of tuna – make sure you drain the water or oil first

Mix in the zest of one lemon, a handful of chopped coriander and a sprinkle of chilli flakes. Season with salt and pepper

Shape into cakes, dip in beaten egg and coat with breadcrumbs

Fry in olive oil on a medium heat until golden

Serve immediately with sour cream, sweet chilli sauce and a lemon wedge.
