Method
1. Sizzle leeks in a frying pan with a little olive oil till tender. Season well.
2. Combine the mash, greens, egg, and cheese. Season to taste. Shape into eight patties (burger style). Chill for an hour in the fridge if possible.
3. Cover the patties in the flour. Heat about 1cm (½") of oil in a large frying pan, then slide the patties in and fry on each side till golden and crisp, about 3 mins. Serve.
4. NOTE: these potato cakes freeze well. You can either make them up fully, or just freeze the mix, defrost and whip them into patty cake shape when you're ready to cook them.
