Mediterranean Potato Cakes are a golden, flavour-packed vegetarian delight crisp on the outside, soft and savoury within, and brimming with the vibrant tastes of the Mediterranean. With creamy mashed potato as the base, these patties are lifted by the briny bite of black olives, the sweetness of roasted capsicum, and the tangy richness of semi-dried tomatoes.
