Potato cake

250g leftover cooked

potatoes, grated

1 onion, peeled and grated

2 tablespoons chopped parsley

Salt and ground black pepper

50g butter

 

Salad

1 egg yolk

1 teaspoon finely-chopped garlic

1 teaspoon lemon juice

2 tablespoons soured cream

4 tablespoons olive oil

8 slices leftover cooked lamb

1. Combine the potato, onion, parsley and seasoning, divide into two and make into a flattened cake shape. Cook in hot butter in a non-stick frying pan until golden, then flip over and repeat.

2. In a bowl whisk together the egg yolk, mustard, garlic, lemon juice and soured cream. Add three-quarters of the oil slowly until emulsified, season.

3. Toss the lamb with the salad leaves and the remaining olive oil. Place on top of the potato cake and drizzle with the creamy garlic dressing.
