Ingredients:
3 cups mashed potatoes
1 cup chopped cooked ham
1 eggs
1 cup flour
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon baking powder
2 tablespoons ham fat or 2 tablespoons bacon fat
Directions:
Set a large pot of salted water on to boil.
Mix all the ingredients together well, except the fat. You should have a soft but moldable dough; you may need to mix in a little more flour. Divide the dough into 4 equal parts.
Mold into flattish, rectangular cakes, about 2″ thick.
Gently place the cakes in the boiling water and simmer for 1/2 hour.
Drain and let cool. It will fall apart if you try to slice it before it is cool.
Cut in 1/2″ thick slices and fry in bacon or ham fat, over medium heat, until nicely browned, on both sides.
