These gluten free potato cakes are great for using up leftover mashed potatoes. They are quick and easy to make and I serve them with a sweet chili sauce. A delicious midnight snack!
Put the cold mashed potato into a large mixing bowl.
Add and gently mix in finely chopped red onion, the beaten egg, flour, herbs, salt and pepper.
Make the mixture into desired-sized potato cakes and put into the fridge to chill for around 20 minutes. I tend to use a tablespoon to scope up the desired amount, of potato, then gently roll it in my hand to make a circle. Next pop it down onto a floured surface and press into a disc shape.
After chilling heat oil up to fry in a frying pan or a deep-fat fryer. Fry the potatos until golden brown and sizzling. Mine takes about 8-10 minutes depending on size.
Serve immediately with sweet chili sauce and salad.
