Mash up the potatoes very smoothly, beat in the sugar, and a flavouring of nutmeg or grated lemon peel. Beat up the egg and pour over the potatoes and mix into a paste; form into small round cakes. Fry in very hot-fat till brown; pile high on a dish, sprinkle with sugar, and serve. One egg is sufficient for about 1 lb. potatoes.
