GOAT CHEESE POTATO CAKES
Courtesy of Anthony Sedlak, The Main. I plan to try this soon! Anthony suggests serving this with Tenderloin Steak with Reduced Port Sauce, Roasted Beet Salad and Watercress Salad with Apple. I don't think I'll be needing dessert after this meal ... You can view the entire menu under my Shared Menus "An April TGIF".

Steps:
- In a saucepan combine the potatoes, peeled and cut into 1-inch pieces, the shallots, and the garlic with enough cold water to cover the mixture by 1 inch and simmer the mixture for 10 to 15 minutes, or until the potatoes are tender. Drain the potato mixture, return it to the pan, and steam it over moderate heat, shaking the pan, for 30 seconds, or until any excess liquid is evaporated. Force the potato mixture through a ricer or the medium disk of a food mill into a bowl and stir in 1/2 cup of the bread crumbs, the goat cheese, the chives or scallions, and salt and pepper to taste. Form 1/2-cup measures of the mixture into four 3/4-inch-thick cakes, transferring the potato cakes as they are formed to a plate covered with the remaining 1/2 cup bread crumbs, and coat the potato cakes with the crumbs.
- In a large heavy skillet heat the butter over moderately high heat until the foam subsides and in it sauté the potato cakes, turning them once, for 5 minutes on each side, or until they are crusty and golden brown.

A CAKE OF POTATO AND GOAT CHEESE
Goat cheese-sharp, chalky, a little salty-makes a sound addition to the blandness of a potato cake. The fun is coming across a lump of melting, edgy cheese in among the quietness of the potato. This is what I eat while picking eagle style at the carcass of a roast chicken or wallowing in the luxury of some slices of smoked salmon. It also goes very well with a humble smoked mackerel.

Steps:
- Mash the potatoes with a masher or a fork until they are a mixture of sizes from gravel to pebbles. Cut the goat cheese up into small pieces and fold it into the mash with the chopped herbs. Season generously with salt and black pepper, then stir in the flour.
- Divide the mixture into fourths and pat each one into a rugged patty roughly 2 1/2 inches (6cm) in diameter. Empty the cornmeal onto a plate, then turn the patties in it.
- Get a thin layer of oil hot in a shallow, nonstick pan. Lower the patties into the oil and, without moving them, cook for about four minutes, until golden and lightly crisp underneath. Turn them quickly and carefully with a spatula and cook the other side. Drain briefly on paper towels before serving.

Steps:
- To make the cakes, place the soft goat cheese in a food processor and process until smooth. Transfer the cheese to a large bowl and add the potatoes and bread crumbs; mix until smooth. Add 1/4 cup of the grated cheese, scallions, parsley and nutmeg and toss with a fork until combined. Season to taste with salt and a few grinds of pink peppercorns.
