POTATO CAKES WITH AVOCADO, TOMATO & PROSCIUTTO
Steps:
- 1. To make the potato cakes, cook the potatoes for 20-25 minutes or until soft. Drain and return to the pan over a low heat and stir to dry them out as much as you can. 2. Mash, then stir in the egg yolk and cheese. Season with salt and cayenne pepper. Shape into 8 potato cakes and chill for at least 20 minutes until firm (or leave until you are ready to cook them). 3. Gently mix the avocado, tomato, lime juice and Tabasco together. Season. 4. Heat 1 tbsp oil in a frying pan and fry the potato cakes in batches over a medium-high heat for 4 minutes. Don't add too much oil or they will break up. Carefully flip over and fry the other side for the same amount of time or until crisp. Keep warm in a low oven while you fry the rest. Wipe out the pan and dry-fry the Parma ham for 1 minute each side or until crisp. Serve the potato cakes with the salsa and Parma ham. 391 kcalories, protein 13.4g, carbohydrate 30.5g, fat 24 g, saturated fat 7.1g, fibre 3.3g, salt 1.15g

Steps:
- Heat the oven to 200C/180C fan/gas 6. Prick the sweet potatoes and potato with a knife and roast them until soft - about 45 mins-1 hr for the potato and 40-50 mins for the sweet potato, turning them halfway through. Remove from the oven, leave until cool enough to handle, then scoop the potato flesh out of the skins and lightly mash together but not so it's smooth - keep it chunky.
- While the potatoes are cooking, scoop the avocado into a bowl and mash lightly. Add half of the spring onions, the scotch bonnet, if using, the lime juice and a pinch each of salt and pepper. Keep chilled until ready to serve.
- If using fresh corn, slice the kernels from the cob and boil in a pan of salted water for 3 mins. Rinse with cold water to cool. Add the sweetcorn to the potato mix, with the remaining spring onions and some salt and pepper. Gently mix, then take a handful the size of a tomato. Roll on your worktop, then flatten slightly until it is about 1-inch thick. Repeat until all the mixture is used up, you should have around 12-14 cakes. Put the cassava flour in a shallow bowl and gently drop the cakes in, one by one, then roll lightly to coat with the flour.
- Mix the tamarind and honey with 1 tbsp warm water until fully dissolved. Warm a frying pan over a medium heat and add the bacon. After 1 minute, brush the tamarind mixture over the top side and turn, brushing the other side with a little more of the mixture. At first it will look as though the bacon is boiling, but keep adding the mixture and turning two more times, and it will start to caramelise. Once nicely browned on both sides, remove from the pan and keep warm.
- Put the oil in a non-stick frying pan, enough so the oil will come halfway up the cakes. Heat over a medium-high heat and fry the cakes for 3-4 mins each side until golden brown. Drain on kitchen paper and keep warm while you cook the remaining cakes. To serve, pile two or three cakes onto each plate alongside some mashed avocado and put two slices of bacon on top. Serve 2 tbsp each of the soured cream on the side, if you like.

PROSCIUTTO POTATO BAKE
This was created out of ingredients I had in my fridge before heading on vacation. Amazed at the outcome and my hubby was sad there wasn't more. It's delicious! Experiment with the quantities since I really added what was already here in my kitchen at the time. I thought it would be dry, but it wasn't. As a precaution, I made a warm cheese sauce for adding on top while eating. It wasn't necessary, but it was delicious. Enjoy!

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Lightly grease a small casserole dish with olive oil.
- Heat 1 tablespoon olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Cook prosciutto in hot oil until crisp, 4 to 6 minutes per side. Drain cooked prosciutto on a plate lined with paper towel; pat slices with paper towel to blot excess grease. Crumble prosciutto.

Drizzle 1 tablespoon olive oil over the top layer of cheese. Sprinkle crumbled prosciutto over the cheese layer.

Tips:
- Use a variety of potatoes for a more complex flavor and texture. Russet potatoes are a good choice because they are starchy and hold together well, but you can also use Yukon Gold or red potatoes.
- Be sure to grate the potatoes finely so that they will cook evenly. You can use a food processor or a box grater.
- Squeeze as much liquid out of the grated potatoes as possible before cooking. This will help the potato cakes to be crispy.
- Don't overcrowd the pan when cooking the potato cakes. They should have enough space to brown evenly.
- Serve the potato cakes immediately with your favorite toppings. They are delicious with sour cream, salsa, guacamole, or simply a sprinkle of salt and pepper.
Conclusion:
Potato cakes are a delicious and versatile dish that can be enjoyed for breakfast, lunch, or dinner. They are easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste preferences. With a little creativity, you can create a variety of different potato cake recipes that will please everyone at your table. So next time you're looking for a quick and easy meal, give potato cakes a try!
