How to Cook Left-over Lamb & Potato Cakes
- Mash the potatoes. Chop the cooked lamb in very small pieces then mix, in a large bowl, with 2oz (55g) of butter, the self-raising flour (self-rising flour) and the mashed potato until a soft dough is formed (you can add a splash of milk if necessary, in order to form a pliable dough). Shape this mixture by hand to form 'cakes' about 3" (7.5cm) across and 1" (2.5cm) deep.
- Using just a little oil, fry these cakes over a medium heat for about 5-6 minutes on each side until they are lightly browned. Serve hot (with a fried egg perched on top!)

If you have no left-over cooked potatoes, make them using our Creamed Potatoes recipe, then allow them to cool.
Reviews of Left-over Lamb & Potato Cakes
![]() Really liked this as a starting point. Added in a bag of baby spinach, finely hacked up and fresh mint, also finely hacked up. For some reason, I thought there was egg in the recipe, but, it all came together nicely. A great way to use up the leftover roast that had become a little dry. Thanks Jodster (1 review) |
![]() That's a good idea! I happen to have a piece of cooked lamb in the fridge, and I can soon knock up some mash! Fry a couple of tomatoes, and that's tonight's meal sorted :-) Linette (3 reviews) |
What To Eat Tonight

Pork is a meat fit for kings. From Filet Mignon with Sage and Rosemary to Gammon with Cumberland Sauce, we can show you the whole range.

Beef and Veal are so versatile, yet can be easily spoiled by using the wrong recipe. We offer you lots of really delicious options.

The smoke, the sizzle, the aroma, yeah - it's time for BBQ but don't buy scrappy steaks if you want to eat like a king.
Other Lamb Recipes

I have always been delighted to accept an invitation to dinner from my friends Pam and Wally. Never more so than when Pam has roasted a leg of lamb.

Rogani Gosht (Lamb Braised in Yogurt and Cream) is an authentic Mughlai dish and its recipe dates back to before the 18th century.

Seekh Kebabs are a Mughalai dish that are served as great starter to your barbeques and also work well with all India breads as stuffing
