Prep Time 30 minutes

Cooking Time 20 minutes

Ingredients

4 large potatoes
50 g nibbed almonds, lightly toasted
1 cup red pepper, minced
2 chillies, minced (optional)
1/2 lime or lemon, juiced
2 T fresh coriander, minced
1 T cornflour
Sea salt and freshly ground black pepper
Oil, for frying

For the chutney, blend:

30 g chopped almonds

Method

Boil the potatoes in their skins until tender. Cool slightly, then peel and mash.

Add the almonds, red pepper, chilli, lime or lemon juice, fresh coriander and cornflour. Season to taste and mix well.

Rub your hands with oil and divide the mixture into eight portions. Flatten into patties 3 cm thick.

Brush a cast-iron or nonstick griddle with oil, place over a medium heat and fry the patties for 10 minutes a side, or until crisp.
