Description

I have fond memories of my Granny cooking these in her pantry kitchen. They were served oozing with butter. Granny always made extra to pass over the wall to her neighbours.

Method

1
Peel potatoes and grate into a large bowl. Add a pinch of salt. Do not throw away any of the potato water that will form. Now add the large beaten egg and a tablespoon of flour to the mixture. Stir well. In a frying pan heat the olive oil and add a tablespoon of the mix to the pan. Flaten the cake with the back of a spoon. Fry until the cake is cooked through and is crispy around the edges. Makes approx four cakes. Serve with a knob of butter. Enjoy with a full English breakfast or a stand alone treat.
