Drain thoroughly.
Stage 4 - 2 min.
Dry the potatoes on a tea towel.
Stage 5 - 2 min.
Tip the potatoes into a bowl, salt and pepper, then add ½ egg.
Stage 6 - 1 min.
Mix well.
Stage 7 - 2 min.
Add ½ tablespoon flour and mix again.
Stage 8 - 10 min.
Shape the potato cakes to the size you prefer, but do not pack them too tightly.
It is best to use a dessert ring about 8 cm (3 inches) in diameter to keep the cake neat and round.
I advise you to make all the cakes on a baking sheet and to freeze uncooked any you will not be using immediately.
