Ingredients

  • 250 potatoes cut into cubes
  • 200 flour plain
  • tsp double-acting baking powder 
  • 50 butter for frying melted
  • tbsp milk 
  •  eggs beaten
  • tsp cooking oil for frying

Equipment

  • bowl
  • frying pan
  • oven

Directions

  1. Cook the potatoes in plenty of salted simmering water until tender.
  2. Drain well and mash. Sift the flour and baking powder into a bowl, add the butter, milk, eggs, mash and plenty of seasoning and mix to a sticky dough.
  3. Heat some butter and a little oil in a large frying pan. Fry dollops of the mixture as you would Scotch pancakes for 3 mins on each side until browned. You may need to do this in 2 batches so keep the fried ones warm in the oven.
