- 2 tbsp chopped Flat Leaf Parsley
- 1 egg, lightly beaten
- 150g leftover Christmas ham, roughly chopped

Method:
- Place potato in a saucepan of cold, salted water, bring to the boil, and then cook over medium-high heat for 10-12 minutes or until tender. Drain and cool.
- Transfer potato to a bowl and roughly mash with a fork or potato masher. Add the mustard, tomato sauce, parsley and beaten egg. Season with salt and pepper and stir to combine. Fold through ham. With damp hands, form the potato mixture into 18 even patties, about 2cm thick. Lightly dust in flour.
