4. Line a baking tray with baking paper. Tip the mince into the mash and mix well. Divide into 12 portions, shape each into a ball and roll into a rissole. Place on the baking tray, cover with cling film and chill in the fridge for 3-4 hours, or overnight if you can.

5. Preheat the oven to 200°C/fan 180°C/gas 6. Spray the rissoles with low-calorie cooking spray and bake for around 20 minutes, or until cooked through.
