My dad liked to do potato cakes with the left over mashed potatoes, a recipe shown to him by his dad. In reality you can mix whatever you want into the mashed potato, all you need is the potato and an egg. I don´t use traditional mesurements.

- 1 large leek

Heat oil in a frying pan until sizling. Using the flour make the cakes to the shape and size of your liking and cook them in the frying pan until brown and crispy.
