Method

  1. Gather your leftovers and other ingredients, mash the roast potatoes until there are no large lumps (there is no need to take off the crispy skin, it adds texture and is the tastiest bit of a roastie!).
  2. Chop up your sprouts, onion, chilli and garlic very finely and mix all together.
  3. Combine all of the ingredients together and add the 1⁄2 egg white to help all of the ingredients bind.
  4. Mould into a big round ball and then split in half. Mould into two burger shapes – here are your cakes!
  5. Heat a pan on a medium-high heat with a choice of lubricant to help the cakes brown. When the pan is hot enough you can add the cakes.
  6. Fry off the cakes flipping once in a while, until hot through and brown and crispy on either side.
  7. Tuck in! These can be added as a side to cold leftover turkey, gammon, or any other meal you can think of!
