POTATO CAKES WITH AVOCADO, TOMATO & PROSCIUTTO
Steps:
- 1. To make the potato cakes, cook the potatoes for 20-25 minutes or until soft. Drain and return to the pan over a low heat and stir to dry them out as much as you can. 2. Mash, then stir in the egg yolk and cheese. Season with salt and cayenne pepper. Shape into 8 potato cakes and chill for at least 20 minutes until firm (or leave until you are ready to cook them). 3. Gently mix the avocado, tomato, lime juice and Tabasco together. Season. 4. Heat 1 tbsp oil in a frying pan and fry the potato cakes in batches over a medium-high heat for 4 minutes. Don't add too much oil or they will break up. Carefully flip over and fry the other side for the same amount of time or until crisp. Keep warm in a low oven while you fry the rest. Wipe out the pan and dry-fry the Parma ham for 1 minute each side or until crisp.

PROSCIUTTO POTATO BAKE
This was created out of ingredients I had in my fridge before heading on vacation. Amazed at the outcome and my hubby was sad there wasn't more. It's delicious! Experiment with the quantities since I really added what was already here in my kitchen at the time. I thought it would be dry, but it wasn't. As a precaution, I made a warm cheese sauce for adding on top while eating. It wasn't necessary, but it was delicious. Enjoy!

These little cakes are so versatile; they can be used as a canape, first course or even main course. Once you start making them regularly you'll find that they lend themselves very well to your creativity. Simply drop the ingredients listed below the egg and add your own creations. Whether it be Cajun, lemon & pepper, ginger & lemongrass, onion & dill, or cashew & coriander they will definitely become a favourite.

AVOCADO POTATO SALAD
I got this potato salad recipe from a friend who got it from an adapted recipe from the California Avocado Commission. It's a wonderful recipe, that is lighter because the wonderful tangy dressing substitutes for mayo in most salads such as this. Lots of wonderful flavors, textures, and colors! You may serve this at room temperature, but it is best covered tightly and chilled for 1 to 3 hrs before serving. Can be prepared up to three hours in advance before serving.

OLD FASHIONED POTATO CAKES
This is one of those recipes where the result is never quite the same, but always good. My grandma makes these for me whenever she has leftover mashed potatoes. She usually just puts in a bit of this and a bit of that, but I have tried to provide accurate measurements. Go ahead and make if you do not have quite the right amount of some ingredient.
