I've been mulling over this one for a while and finally got around to making up a few.  Delicious.  Some may baulk at the lard, but it makes the recipe IMHO  ;D

I think the greatest con of recent times is the emergence of olive/vegetable/saffron/rice/peanut oil and nothing tastes as good as something roasted in good old dripping/lard. 

That's a big rant by someone who has had seven coronary by-passes and should know better isn't it?  hi hi ;) ;)

CORNISH POTATO CAKES

Ingredients

225 grams boiled hot potatoes

Method

Mash potatoes, add butter, salt and pepper to your taste, and beat well. Gradually adding flour, mix to a stiff dough, roll out on a floured board and use a scone cutter to stamp out rounds.

Grease heated griddle or heavy base fry pan with lard and cook 3 minutes on each side.

Serve hot, spread with butter.

I will stay being " conned" thank you. My little ol arteries aren't clogging up again   :)

I made some salmon and sweet potato cakes last night cooked in a smidgen of canola oil  [smiley=chef.gif]
