Cooking Steps
Preheat your oven to 220°C/200°C fan/gas mark 7. Bring a large saucepan of water with 0.5 tsp salt to the boil for the potatoes.
While the water comes to the boil, peel the garlic (but leave the cloves whole). Peel and chop the potatoes into 2cm chunks. Grate the Cheddar cheese.
When boiling, add the potatoes and peeled garlic cloves to the water and cook until you can easily slip a knife through, 15-20 mins.
Meanwhile, in a large bowl, combine the cider vinager with the sugar and oil for the dressing (see pantry for both amounts). Season with salt and pepper then set the dressing aside for now.
In a small bowl, mix together half the crumbs and the oil for the crumbs (see pantry for amount). Season with salt and pepper then set aside.
Once the potatoes are cooked, drain in a colander and sit the colander on top of the pan (off the heat) to allow the potatoes to steam for a couple of mins.
Then, return the potatoes to the empty saucepan and roughly mash, ensuring the mixture isn't too smooth so that some chunks of potato remain.
Add the chipotle paste, cheese, salt (see pantry for amount) and remaining breadcrumbs. Season with pepper.
Mix it together really well, then allow the mixture to cool slightly.
Shape into 2cm thick patties, 3 per person.Transfer the potato cakes to a large baking tray lined with baking paper.
Evenly spread the oiled crumb on top of the potato cakes, pressing it down so it sticks nicely.
Bake on the top shelf of your oven until golden, 18-22 mins.
A few mins before the potato cakes are ready, heat a drizzle of oil in a large frying pan on medium-high heat.
Once hot, add the peas and stir-fry for 2-3 mins.
Remove from the heat, crumble in the Greek style salad cheese and season with pepper.
Add the rocket and slaw mix to the dressing bowl and toss together.
Onc ready, transfer the cheesy chipotle potato cakes to your plates.
Serve the peas and salad alongside, as well as the sweet chilli sauce for dipping.
Enjoy!

Review summary
Updated on Aug 2026- Flavour: The chipotle potato cakes are tasty and filling, though some found the flavour mild and felt the dish worked better as a side than a standalone meal.
- Ease of prep: The recipe is more involved than most, with several steps that take time; allow extra time on your first attempt.
- Suggestions: If the potato mixture feels too dry to shape, add a little liquid to help it bind; keeping the patties small also helps them hold together better. Adding mayo to the slaw and extra leaves or sweetcorn to the peas are popular ways to round out the dish.
- Next-day meals: Leftover potato mixture keeps well in the fridge and can be shaped and cooked a few days later, making it a handy option for using up mash.
- Portions: Some found the dish on the lighter side for a main meal, and adding a protein such as fish helped make it more satisfying.
