Potato Fritters

Makes 16 large fritters

Method:
Place all ingredients into a large bowl. Stir together until
combined. The mixture will be quite stiff in texture.
Season with some salt, pepper or curry powder.
Heat a large heavy based frying pan, lightly cover base
with olive oil spray.
Add a large tablespoons of mixture to the pan, cook over
medium heat, pressing down each fritter with the back of
a spatula until golden brown and cooked through. Turn
over and brown other side.
Keep warm in a low oven at 100 C until all are cooked -
if you can stop them being eaten!
Serve with any salsa or sauce of your choice.

Tips:

I serve these for an easy meal or snack, or whenever
there are hungry kids to feed.
I replace the ham with small cubes of cold corned beef
if there is any leftover in the fridge or you could use
canned ham.
Great when washed down with a glass of milk or juice.
