Ingredients

4 medium potatoes, peeled

2 cup (300g) self-raising flour

1 egg, lightly beaten

11/2 cups (375ml) milk

crispy grilled or fried bacon and roasted baby truss tomatoes, to serve

Method

1.Coarsely chop two of the potatoes. Cook in a saucepan of boiling, salted water for 10 minutes or until tender. Drain, mash well and season.

2.Grate remaining potatoes and squeeze out excess liquid. Add to mashed potato with flour. Mix until just combined. Fold in egg and enough milk to form a batter of dropping consistency (see notes).

3.Heat a lightly oiled large frypan or griddle on medium. Cook 2-tablespoon measures of batter, in batches, for 3-4 minutes each side or until golden.

4.Serve with bacon and tomatoes.

When a batter is of dropping consistency it means that it’s neither too runny nor too thick. If it takes a few seconds to slide off the back of a spoon, that’s perfect.
