LUNCHEON MEAT PATTIES

Steps:

• Peel and thickly slice the potatoes. Cook them in boiling, salted water for 10 minutes, until soft. Drain them and mash well.
• Peel and finely chop or grate the onion. Chop the luncheon meat.
• Mix together the potato, onion, luncheon meat, and bind together with the well-beaten egg, adding sufficient egg to hold it all together. Season with the salt, pepper, and herbs. Form the mixture into 3-4 equal portions. Shape each into a ball and then flatten to form 'beefburger' shapes about 3/4in (2cm) thick.
• Heat the oil and butter in a frying pan, and fry over a moderate heat for 3-4 minutes, turning to cook both sides, until crisp and golden brown. Serve with fresh or fried tomatoes and/or a couple of fried eggs, if you're really hungry.
