Irish Fadge (Potato Cakes) - cooking recipe

Ingredients
    1 lb freshly cooked potato
    1/2 teaspoon salt
    2 tablespoons butter (margarine)
    3/4 - 1 cup flour
Preparation
    Mash the potatoes (make sure there are no lumps).
    Sprinkle with salt and drizzle with the butter.
    Knead in enough flour to make a pliable dough (usually 3/4 cup is enough).
    Roll out to about 1/2\" thick and cut into round patties about 4\"across.
    Heat a non stick skillet and brown on each side 3-4 minutes or until golden brown.
    Serve with butter (you can sprinkle them with sugar if you are serving them as a treat).
    NB: These are very tasty fried in bacon grease and served with breakfast.
