This month, James Martin has sent our MN Potato Councillors another of his delicious recipes, created especially for manyfacesofpotatoes.co.uk - Fish Cakes with Lemon & Basil Mayonnaise, ready in 30 minutes from prep to plate. The Councillors have been challenged to cook the dish for their families and share their feedback on this thread.

Manyfacesofpotatoes.co.uk say "This is the final thread for the MN Potato Councillors, so we've decided to add a bit of a twist and we're asking that our Councillors' children get stuck in too! Of course health and safety is everyone's number one priority, so we're not asking that they boil the potatoes or fry off the cakes, but getting them involved with the prep, like mashing the spuds or folding the mixture, could be lots of fun".

What's more, they are asking that, where possible, the Councillors post feedback on this thread on behalf of their children too. Please let us know: whether they enjoyed making the dish with you and what they thought of the taste.

As always, we want to give the entire MN community, and in this case your children too, the option to taste and review James' fish cakes so, even if you're not one of our MN Potato Councillors, feel free to try James' dish this week and add your feedback on this thread. If you are unable to try it please let us know your own fishcake recipe or share what you would normally serve them with.

Do tell us: how easy it was to cook, whether your family enjoyed it and if you added your own twist to the cakes - maybe you already have your very own family favourite fish cake flavour?

If you have any questions on potatoes, please post them onto the thread and we'll endeavour to answer them asap.

Everyone who does so will be entered into a prize draw where one MNer will win a £50 Love2Shop voucher.

Thanks, MNHQ

You guys are so brave making the mayo....hellmans all the way for me!

Thanks to everyone who has posted so far - we've had a response to your query about boiling/baking zipzap - here's what Potato Council say about it:

"Whether you choose to boil your spuds or cook them in the microwave, both methods have their benefits. As zipzap rightly mentions, nutrients can be lost in boiling, which are kept when microwaving, but let's face it, it'd be very difficult to fit a family of four's potato portions into the microwave! Have you tried steaming your spuds, you won't lose any key nutrients this way?"
