Italian Pork Patties with Potato Wedges

Ingredients

500g pork mince

4 baking potatoes, cut into wedges

2 tbsp olive oil

Zest and juice of 1 lemon

50g fresh breadcrumbs

50g grated parmesan

2 tbsp chopped parsley

1 large garlic clove, crushed

Method

Heat oven to 200C/180C fan/gas 6.  Toss the potato wedges in a large roasting tin with 1tbsp oil and the lemon juice.  Spread out in a single layer and roast for 34-40 minutes, turning occasionally, until golden brown and crisp.

Meanwhile, place the breadcrumbs in a mixing bowl and moisten with 2 tbsp cold water.  Add the mince, parmesan, parsley, garlic and lemon zest.  Season and mix well, then shape into 4 large flat patties.

Heat the remaining oil in a pan and cook the patties for 7 minutes on both sides, or until they have a golden crust and are cooked through.  Alternatively, grill over a hot BBQ for a flame-grilled taste.

Serve with the wedges and a rocket and tomato salad.
