This skillet potato cake with ham and cheese is a stuffed potato cake that makes a nice change from a classic omelet. The dough is made from mashed boiled potatoes, egg, and flour, then divided into two portions. The first portion is shaped into a round, placed in a greased skillet, topped with ham and cheese, and covered with the second portion of dough. The cake is pan-fried on both sides until golden. You can vary the filling to suit your taste.

Instructions

Tip: tap a step to mark it as done.

Mash the boiled potatoes and mix in the egg and flour. Shape a portion of the dough into a flat round, transfer it to a skillet greased with oil, and top with the ham and cheese. Season with salt and pepper.
Cover the filling with the remaining dough and pan-fry the potato cake on both sides until golden.
Tip: Vary the filling to suit your taste.

Tip: Add the flour to the mashed potatoes gradually; depending on the type of potatoes, you may not need it all. Use any remaining flour to dust the work surface and your hands when shaping the rounds.
