Ingredients
- 400g pack lean beef mince
- 1 beef stock cube
- 50g plain flour
- 2 tbsp Worcestershire sauce
- 140g frozen pea
- 450g leftover mashed potato
- 2 eggs, beaten
- 85g panko or dried breadcrumbs
- vegetable oil, for frying
- baked beans, to serve
Method
- STEP 1
Heat a large frying pan until hot. Dry-fry the mince until browned, breaking it up with a fork. Crumble in the stock cube and 1 tbsp of the flour, and mix well. Add the Worcestershire sauce and peas, and mix well to combine.
- STEP 2
Tip the mince mixture into a bowl and cool a little, before stirring in the mash and shaping into 6 cakes. Dust the cakes in the remaining flour, then dip them into the egg, then the crumbs. Chill for at least 10 mins, longer if you have time.
- STEP 3
Heat the oil in a large pan. Fry the cakes for 3-4 mins each side, until golden brown. Drain on kitchen paper. Season with a little salt and serve with baked beans.
