Thai Potato Cakes Recipes

Steps:

• Mix mashed potatoes, flour, onion, egg, black pepper, and salt together in a bowl until batter consistency.
• Heat vegetable oil in a skillet over medium heat. Drop 4-inch circles of batter into hot oil. Cook until golden brown, about 5 minutes per side. Remove with a slotted spoon and drain on paper towels. Repeat with remaining batter.

Steps:

• Grate potatoes, then put in clean tea towel and squeeze to remove as much moisture as possible.
• Mix potato in bowl with chilli, lemongrass, coriander, spring onions, egg and flour.
• Heat 1.
• 5cm (1/2 inch) oil in a frying pan.
• Use two heaped tablespoons of mixture for each cake and cook in batches for 3- 4 minutes on each side, or until crisp and cooked through.
• Drain on paper towels and keep warm whilst cooking remainder of cakes.
• Serve hot, with sweet chilli sauce.

Steps:

• Put the chillies, shallots, garlic cloves, ginger, lemongrass, paprika, lime zest and juice and 1 tbsp water into a small food processor and blitz to a smooth paste.
• Heat oven to 200C/180C fan/gas 6. Put the sweet potato in a large roasting tin and toss with the oil. Add the curry paste, peppers and lime leaves and roast for 35-40 mins until the potato is tender. Heat the grill to high.
• Slash the mackerel skin a few times with a sharp knife. Arrange the fish over the veg, skin-side up, then grill for 4-5 mins until the skin is blistered and the flesh is cooked through.
• Scatter over the spring onions, coriander and extra chillies, then squeeze over the lime wedges. Serve with the steamed broccoli.
