To serve:

  1. In a large bowl, stir together the mashed potatoes, cheese, spring onions, egg and three tablespoons of the flour until well combined. If the mixture looks too wet, add a little more flour; if it looks too dry to hold together, add one more egg.
  2. Using clean hands, divide the mixture into 12 portions. Roll each portion into a ball, then flatten it into a patty about 1cm thick.
  3. Place the remaining flour in a shallow dish and carefully dredge each pancake in the flour, shaking off any excess.
  4. In a large pan over a medium heat, add enough vegetable oil to thoroughly coat the bottom of the pan.
  5. Working in batches to avoid over-crowding the pan, cook the potato cakes for 3-5 minutes per side until golden brown. Add more oil to the pan as needed between batches. Transfer to a plate lined with kitchen paper and sprinkle with salt.
  6. Serve the potato cakes with fried eggs, or a few slices of country-style ham, if desired.

TO FREEZE:
Wrap the potato cakes individually in cling film or tin foil. Place them on a large baking tray in a single layer to avoid squashing them, then freeze. Once the cakes are frozen, you can remove the tray and stack them whichever way is convenient. Defrost them one at a time as needed.
