Ingredients

  • 125–150g cooked, peeled new potatoes
    200g spring greens, cooked, drained and chopped
    2 leeks, roughly chopped and washed
    A couple of handfuls of wild plants and herbs such as wild garlic, charlock or sea spinach, washed
    1tbsp chopped parsley
    Salt and freshly ground black pepper
    2tbsp vegetable oil
    3-4 good knobs of butter

Method

  1. Cook the leeks and greens separately in boiling, salted water and drain. If you're using wild garlic, charlock or sea spinach, then just gently cook them in a little of the butter for a few minutes until tender.
  2. Chop the potatoes and greens, then mix with the leeks, the wild herbs if you're using them and the parsley. Season to taste, then mould the mixture into 4 even-sized flat patties. Heat the oil in a non-stick frying pan and cook the patties for 3-4 minutes on each side until golden. Keep warm in a low oven.
