Spinach Potato Cakes with Roasted Tomato Sauce

These spinach potato cakes with roasted tomato sauce offer a sophisticated yet comforting take on a vegetarian main course. By combining fluffy mashed potatoes with earthy spinach and a hint of zesty lemon, these patties develop a wonderful depth of flavour. Frying them until golden creates a crisp exterior that contrasts beautifully with the soft, savoury centre. The accompanying sauce, made from oven-roasted plum tomatoes, provides a vibrant and slightly smoky base that ties the whole dish together.

Perfect for a midweek supper or a light weekend lunch, this recipe is a fantastic way to use up leftover mashed potatoes while sneaking extra greens onto the plate. The addition of fresh mozzarella adds a creamy finish, making it a satisfying meal for both adults and children alike. Serve these cakes alongside a crisp green salad for a balanced and wholesome homemade dinner that feels truly special.

Ingredients for Spinach Potato Cakes with Roasted Tomato Sauce

  • 900g plum or Roma tomatoes, halved

  • Salt and pepper

  • 1/2 cup olive oil

  • 2 tablespoons butter

  • 450g spinach, stems removed

  • 1 large egg, lightly beaten

  • 2 large or 3 medium Idaho potatoes, boiled and mashed

  • 1/4 teaspoons finely grated lemon zest

  • cup dried bread crumbs

  • 240ml plain flour

  • 60ml canola oil

  • Fresh mozzarella (optional)

How to make Spinach Potato Cakes with Roasted Tomato Sauce

  1. Preheat oven to 204°C.

  2. Arrange the tomatoes in a single layer on a rimmed baking sheet; sprinkle with the salt and pepper, and coat well with the olive oil. Roast for 35 minutes, or until the skins blister. Cool and purée; set aside.

  3. Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the butter, melt, then add the spinach and cook, stirring, until wilted. Transfer to a cutting board and let cool. Squeeze the spinach dry and finely chop; place in a large bowl. Add the egg and stir until well combined. Add the mashed potatoes, Parmesan, and lemon zest, and season with more salt and pepper; stir until well combined. Stir in the bread crumbs, 60ml at a time, until the mixture holds together. Pat into 2-inch by 1/2-inch-thick cakes. Dredge in the flour, patting off any excess.

  4. Heat the canola oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat until hot but not smoking. Add the cakes and cook until lightly browned, 3 to 5 minutes per side.

  5. Arrange the cakes over the roasted tomato sauce. Top with mozzarella, if desired.
