These were really tasty and great to have in the fridge for a quick snack. We made these for lunch with a salad and a dipping sauce on the side. They are full of flavor and 2 cakes with a salad is just enough for a lite lunch. (4 people)
What you need
500g mashed potato
300g cooked chicken finely chopped
125g sandwich ham chopped
2 tablespoon chopped fresh herbs (parsley and tarragon are best)
2 eggs beaten
salt and pepper
Dry breadcrumbs
The process
In a mixing bowl add the chicken, mash, ham, chopped herbs and one of the eggs. Mix it all together well, distributing the ingredients evenly through the mixture.
Heat some oil in a pan on a medium heat and place breadcrumbs on a plate.
Make 8 burger size patties about 2cm thick, dip into the egg and then into the breadcrumbs, make sure they are really well coated with the breadcrumbs.
Fry them in the oil until they are golden brown on each side. Do 2 or 3 at a time and don’t overload the pan.
Place the cooked chicken cakes on some paper towel to drain off any oil.
Serve hot or cold with a salad and sweet chili sauce.

Can the chicken and potatoe cakes be frozen?
Hi lesley, yes they can, they freeze perfectly well and to reheat let them thaw partially before popping in a 200 C oven. Happy days G
Hi. What can I substitute for the ham or can I just omit it from the recipe? Thank you once again for all your amazing recipes.
Hi Shenaaz, you can add another 125g of well seasoned finely chopped chicken, macon, bacon. You could also add some spring onions and perhaps a little very finely chopped chili. Take your favourite flavours and make it your own. Have a fantastic weekend, G
