Potato Me
What a let-down. The consequence of not referencing from some tried-and-tested recipes when attempting a dish for the first time. Oh well, as a faithful fan of several cooking shows while over here, I guess I must have momentarily imagined myself to be a Masterchef. Had initially wanted to make mini potato mince patties (with potato - of course, pork mince, peas, carrots, corn, onion, breadcrumbs), only to have it turn out as one big potato mince cake. Floppy and soft, even when the surface had been pan-fried till golden brown. The seasoning was right on the mark but the texture was way off. Sighz, I guess I should have thrown in an egg and some tens of grams of flour... And now, to clean up the oily stove top and then eat up my potato cake. =(

too much water from your ingredients. can mash the potato less. good luck with next attempt.
actually i was writing up on my projects but got bored and decided to drop in. haha.
haha.. on worries mate! Keep trying and you'll get it right, eventually!! yum yum...
Haha, thanks for the advice and encouragement, will work harder (and smarter). =P Love potatoes!
Guess what, I added some big tablespoonfuls of flour to the leftover potato mix yesterday, and it worked! No more big mushy potato cake but many small round patties this time round. Yeah! (Though if one closes one's eyes when eating, one wouldn't have tasted much difference... oh well.)
