INGREDIENTS:
- 500g sweet potato
- 200g potato
- 1 tbsp plain flour
- 1 small bunch chives
- Some parsley
- 1 bunch spring onions
- A knob of butter
- A pinch of ground cinnamon
- A pinch of salt
- Black pepper
- 1 packet of Bath Soft Cheese
- 1 tbsp double cream
- 1 pot of The Tomato Stall’s Organic Oak Smoked Isle of Wight Tomatoes
METHOD:
- Peel and chop both types of potato and boil them separately until soft. Mash and add the butter and flour, finely chopped chives, parsley, onions and spices. Leave to cool and then shape into small patties.
- Get some oil hot in a non-stick frying pan and fry the potato cakes until golden brown. You can do this stage in advance and finish them off in the oven before serving.
- In a blender, mix the Bath Soft Cheese with a dash of cream until smooth. Put into a small piping bag.
- When you're ready to serve, reheat the potato cakes, pipe on a small blob of cheese and top with an Organic Oak Smoked Isle of Wight Tomato and a sprig of parsley or Greek basil.
