Turn the oven on at 190ºC. Next, heat the oil in a frying pan. Cook the onion in the pan for four or five minutes until it’s soft. Carefully tip the cooked onion into a large bowl.

Add the mashed potato, chopped vegetables and cheese to the bowl, plus a sprinkle of pepper or paprika if you like. Mix well and divide into six portions.

Shape each portion into a round cake. Put a little flour on a plate and coat each vegetable cake in flour on both sides.

Place each cake on a greased baking tray and brush with melted butter. Bake in the preheated oven for 25 minutes. When they’re ready, serve them with a crunchy salad. Yum!
