Beef and Potato Cakes

Mix with a cup of cold roast beef 2 cups mashed potatoes seasoned as for the table. Add a beaten egg. Mix and shape into balls and flatten like cakes. Roll in bread crumbs. Fry a golden brown. Nice for breakfast or tea.

Note on Breading Fried Things The reason many fried things have a flat taste, though the mixture may be highly seasoned, is that the seasoning of the bread crumbs has been neglected. Try mixing the bread crumbs with salt, pepper, and, if desired, a drop or two of any desired seasoning, before moulding. For frying or covering the tops of entrees, use bread crumbs instead of cracker crumbs, as they have less of a flat taste.
