Ingredients:

Step 1: Prepare the Potatoes

Let's start our cozy culinary journey with the humble potato. Take 2 large potatoes, and after a good scrub, peel them gently. Cut them into even chunks to ensure they boil evenly. Now, into a pot they go, with just enough water to cover them. Here's a little secret from me to you – add a pinch of your favorite chicken seasoning cube into the water. This little trick adds so much flavor to the potatoes, making our cakes even tastier. Bring them to a boil and let them simmer until they're fork-tender. Drain and let them cool slightly before moving on to the mashing stage.
Pro Tip: Add the seasoning cube to the boiling water for extra-flavored potatoes.

Step 2: Mash and Mix

With your potatoes cooked and slightly cooled, it's time to get mashing. Don't worry about getting them perfectly smooth; a little texture makes our cakes homey and comforting. Now for the fun part – adding the corned beef. Crumble it well and mix it with your mashed potatoes. It's a delightful marriage of flavors and textures. At this point, gently stir in the chopped onions, fresh parsley, and a touch of chopped pepper for a little kick. This is your canvas, and these flavors are your colors; blend them well for what promises to be a masterpiece.
Pro Tip: Leave a bit of texture when mashing the potatoes for a homier feel to the cakes.

Step 3: Coat and Fry

In a separate bowl, whisk together your eggs and milk; this becomes the glue that holds our masterpieces together. Scoop a portion of your corned beef and potato mixture, and with gentle hands, form them into cakes. Here’s where we add a coat of sophistication – dip each cake into the egg mixture, then lovingly coat them with breadcrumbs. Heat up a generous amount of oil in a pan, and once it’s dancing with heat, fry your cakes until they're gloriously golden brown. They emerge crispy on the outside and impeccably tender on the inside, a testament to your culinary prowess.
Pro Tip: Ensure the oil is hot before frying to get that perfect golden crust.
