Method

• 1.
  Remove outer leaves from sprouts and score base of stalk with a cross. Bring a large saucepan of water to the boil, add 1 teaspoon salt and cook sprouts for 7 minutes, drain, then refresh in cold water. Cut sprouts into quarters and set aside.
• 2.
  Cook the potatoes in boiling, salted water until soft.
• 3.
  Meanwhile, heat 1 tablespoon oil in a small frypan, add the onion and cook for about 5 minutes or until softened.
• 4.
  Drain potatoes, return to pan and mash with milk, butter and chilli. Add the sprouts and onion and mash gently together (the mixture should be quite chunky), then season well with salt and pepper. Form into 8 patties and refrigerate for 15 minutes. Heat remaining oil in a non-stick pan over medium-high heat and fry cakes for 1-2 minutes each side or until golden. Serve hot with sausages and relish.
