  1. Place potatoes in a medium saucepan and cover with water. Bring to the boil on high. Reduce heat to medium and simmer 8-10 minutes, until tender. Drain well. Mash with garlic. Cool slightly.

  2. Meanwhile, melt butter in a small saucepan. Saute onion 1-2 minutes, until tender. Add to potato with turkey, coriander, egg and 1/3 cup breadcrumbs. Season to taste and mix well. Chill 1 hour.

  3. SWEET CHILLI SAUCE: In a small saucepan, combine water and sugar. Stir over a low heat until sugar dissolves. Add ginger and chilli, and simmer 3-4 minutes, until mixture becomes syrupy. Remove from heat and cool slightly. Add mint, juice and fish sauce.

  4. Preheat oven to slow, 150°C. Line an oven tray with baking paper.

  5. Shape 1½ heaped tablespoons of potato mixture into flattened patties. Dip in extra egg then roll in remaining breadcrumbs to coat. Place on tray. Chill 15 minutes.

  6. Heat oil in a large frying pan on medium. Cook patties in 3 batches, 1-2 minutes each side, until golden. Drain on paper towel. Keep warm in oven. Top with rocket leaves and serve with sweet chilli sauce.

I took my sister’s child away from herI took my sister’s child away from herwow....!!!!!????, oh26 CommentsPost commentView comments Another MKR hot hook-up!Another MKR hot hook-up!Vinny Jones from Sydney - I personally think the Spice Girls were not nasty and vicious as Sophia and Ashlee. I really do think the Spice Girls were very inmature and silly young ladies, but they were not nasty and vicious like those 2 Cabramatta girls. Fancy them saying after they did not win at the Sydney markets that they would have done a better job of making the Vietnamese Pork Rolls, that the brother and sister team won in that challenge. Sophia and Ashlee must have seen green that day, with smoke coming out of their ears. SUFFER. Obviously you both think you can do better, but the public that came for lunch at the market didn't think so. You live and learn.anniepoo, Melbourne10 CommentsPost commentView comments Who wore it better Kim or Robin Williams?Who wore it better Kim K or Robin Williams?Kim's dress is disgusting, WAY too much floral print. If the dress was sleeveless with a lower neckline and a bottom hem that finished above the knee, it may have looked a little better. It looks like she threw grandma's curtains over her and walked out the door!!Chantelle, Sydney10 CommentsPost commentView comments Michelle Bridges stole my husbandMichelle Bridges stole my husbandWho cares whether Michelle is 43 or 50 years old. This is a very immature thing to do. Of course he is only thinking with his old fella instead of his brain as he sure doesn't give a damn about his kids. Michelle does not have any so she don't care. Both should go off quietly together as they are both pathetic.Pip, NSw10 CommentsPost commentView comments Charlotte Dawson: I'm 47, he's 23 - so what?Charlotte Dawson: I'm 47, he's 23 - so what?You go girl, live while you can, but remember that when you are 71 your beautiful boy will be just 47......Bobbie, Sydney6 CommentsPost commentView comments
