Cook the spring onions gently in 15g butter until softened. Mix with the potatoes and leave until cold.

Shape into 8 cakes on a lightly floured surface. Beat together the egg and 15g melted butter.

Pre-heat the oven to 190C/170C Fan/Gas 5. Spray each cake with 2 squirts oil spray, then bake for 20-25 minutes. Serve with tartare sauce and salad.
