Method
Step 1
Place the potato in a bowl and crush with a fork, but don’t mash. Add the ham, bacon, lamb or beef, onion or chives, cheese, flour and eggs. Season with salt and pepper and mix until well combined and coated.
Step 2
Add enough oil to a large frying pan to reach 1cm up the side of the pan. Heat over medium heat. Spoon 1/3 cup of the potato mixture into the pan, flattening with a spatula to form a round. Repeat to make another round. Cook for 3-4 mins each side or until golden and cooked through. Transfer potato cakes to a tray lined with paper towel. Repeat with remaining potato mixture, adding extra oil, as needed, to make 8 potato cakes.
Step 3
Sprinkle with extra onion or chives to serve.
