Ingredients
- 1 medium potato (about 250g/10oz), left whole, unpeeled
- 140g/5oz plain flour
- 2 eggs
- 1 tbsp baking powder
- Oil, for frying
- 1 tbsp chopped dill
- 200ml/7fl oz milk
- 1 x 150g pack of smoked salmon
- 1 tub of cream cheese
- Handful of dill, chopped
- Half a cucumber
- Half an onion chopped
Method
- Cook the potato whole for about 12 mins, until tender but not cooked all the way through. Cool under cold water, then grate with the skin on – you’ll need 150g (5 ¼oz) grated potato. Tip the flour into a large bowl with a pinch of salt and crack in the eggs. Whisk until lump-free. Gradually add the milk, whisking well. Add the potato, dill and the baking powder and stir well.
- Heat a little oil in a frying pan and cook 2 tbsp of the batter at a time. When you see tiny bubbles appear on the top, turn and cook on the other side for about 1 min. Keep warm while you cook the rest.
- Meanwhile, mix the topping ingredients. Serve the pancakes with smoked salmon and the cream cheese, dill, cucumber and onion mix.
