Breakfast bubble and squeak cakes

1. Boil the potatoes in plenty of salted water for 15 minutes, or until tender. Drain well and mash until smooth.

2. Meanwhile, steam the cabbage for 5 minutes, or until tender, then dice.

3. Combine the potatoes and cabbage with the mustard, spring onions (if using) and egg in a bowl. Mix well with a wooden spoon and leave to cool.

4. Shape the mixture into 8 cakes. Dust each cake with flour until well coated.

5. Heat 1 tbsp of oil in a heavy-based frying pan. Fry 4 of the cakes over a medium heat for 3-4 minutes on each side, until golden, then repeat with the remaining cakes.
