1 tsp garlic powder

To serve and cook

creme fraiche
chives, finely diced
olive oil

Instructions

Make potato mix

Add all potato cake ingredients to a bowl and stir to combine.
Shape cakes

Shape your potato cakes into small disks.
Fry

Coat the bottom of a large pan in olive oil and fry for 3 minutes each side, or until golden brown. I did mine in two batches, so not to overcrowd the pan.
