Potato Patties with Ham and Kashkaval Cheese

Boil the potatoes in salted water. Peel while still warm and mash with the milk and salt.

Leave to cool, then add 1 egg, the chopped ham and grated cheese.

Finely chop the spring onion greens and knead into the mixture. Shape into patties with greased hands.

Beat the remaining 2 eggs with a fork. Coat the patties with breadcrumbs first, then dip in egg.

Fry in a deep fryer at 170°C or in a frying pan for 1–2 minutes on each side.

Lift out with a slotted spoon, drain briefly on kitchen paper and serve.

The mixture must be cold before shaping the patties, otherwise they may fall apart.
