Ingredients:

• 500 g mashed potatoes
• 1 egg
• a little salt and pepper
• 100 g bacon or ham (diced)
• fresh herbs (chopped)
• 4 tablespoons of flour
• breadcrumbs
• butter for frying

Anti-waste tips:

• Use leftover cooked potatoes
• Use leftover bacon or ham
• Make breadcrumbs from stale bread

Preparation:

Add the egg, salt, bacon or ham and herbs to the mashed potatoes, mix well with the flour. The mixture has to hold its shape – depending on how moist the mash is, extra flour may be needed. Shape into patties and roll in breadcrumbs. Fry in butter until golden.
