COOKING TIME

20 SERVES

Serves 4

Ingredients

500g potatoes (Desiree works well, but any creamy all-rounder would be fine)
6 spring onions
2 tbsp of plain flour
2 knobs of butter
4 eggs
1 pack of smoked salmon
A fresh bunch of chives

Method

Peel and quarter the potatoes. Then boil them until slightly soft but still slightly firm. Leave them to cool and then grate into mixing bowl.

Thinly slice the spring onions and add them to the potato along with the plain flour, salt and pepper and half of the butter.

Divide into four balls and press flat into patties. Cover and leave in the fridge overnight or for as long as possible.

Heat a frying pan and melt the butter. Fry the potato cakes for 5 - 10 minutes on each side but keep a close eye that they don’t burn.

While the cakes are cooking boil some water on the hob with a splash of cider vinegar. Once boiling take off the heat and gently add the eggs, keep the pan off the heat and place the lid on for a further 4 minutes or until the eggs are poached. Remove from water with a slotted spoon and dry on some kitchen roll.

Place the cooked potato cakes onto a plate and top with the salmon, then top the salmon with the poached eggs. Chop the chives thinly and sprinkle over the top and season with salt and pepper.
