Heat the butter in a frying pan over a medium-low heat. Add the onion, cook for 7 minutes, until softened but not browned, then set aside to cool.

Put the potatoes and greens in a large bowl and add the softened onion. Season generously and stir to combine. Form into 6 cakes with your hands, compacting the mixture well to prevent it falling apart.
