I par boiled the potato then took out the potato and used some with the filling then baked them, what ingredients were left I made small patties.
Fantastic up there for thinking ..if you added a egg to patties binds them together and give more flavour. I do things like that the same filled you can make cabbage rolls and stuffed vine lives and stuffed marrow, that same stuffing is used for all the rest. So versatile.
