Potato Cakes



Serves 4

INGREDIENTS:

Potato cakes:

6 large potatoes
1 egg
4 tbsp plain flour
salt and pepper
vegetable oil for frying

Sauce:

10 mushrooms
one large red pepper
1/4 medium onion
1 tbsp crème fraîche
salt and pepper
vegetable oil 
50g cheddar cheese (optional) 
mixed salad


Peel and grate the potatoes. Add the egg, flour, salt and pepper. Heat 1-2 tbsp of oil in a frying pan. Once hot, drop spoonfuls of the mixture into the oil and fry for about 2 min each side (until golden and crisp on each side).
 
For the sauce, chop the vegetables and heat up one tbsp of vegetable oil in another frying pan. Add the onions, mushrooms and peppers. Once the vegetables are soft, add the crème fraîche, 2-3 tbsp of water and salt and pepper to taste. Cook for one minute. 
 
Keep the potato cakes warm while you cook the rest. Serve with cheese and sauce. Goes well with mixed salad.
