    Instructions

    (Stops screen from sleeping)

    1 In a bowl, combine salsa ingredients.

    2 In a shallow dish, place sardines and spoon over salsa. Set aside.

    3 In a large bowl, place potato, flour, seasoning, herbs, eggs and spring onions and combine. Using your hands, divide mixture into 4 cakes and chill in fridge for 30 minutes to firm.

    4 Spray a non-stick pan with oil and set over a medium heat. Add the cakes, flatten and cook for 5-6 minutes, until golden, turning once.

    5 Serve the cakes topped with the salsa sardines and garnish with fresh basil leaves.

    Variations

    Make it gluten free: Use gluten-free flour and check harissa is gluten free.

    HFG tip

    The salsa ingredients can be put in a blender for a finer-textured sauce.

    The potato cakes can be made up to 6 hours ahead, and kept in the fridge, as they will become firmer and easier to cook.

    NOTE: If you have a nut allergy and are using packaged goods in recipes, please check the allergen warning on the packet regarding nuts.
