Crispy Capricorn potato fritters with bacon
From Cookipedia
I think that this light snack recipe from The Lubborn Creamery would make an excellent breakfast, though it's probably a little optimistic to expect it to stretch to 4 people!
Ingredients
- 2 medium eggs, beaten
- 25g (1oz) plain flour
- 2 tablespoons snipped fresh chives
- 750g floury potatoes, peeled and coarsely grated
- 1 small onion, grated
- 1 x 100g Capricorn Somerset Goats cheese, finely diced
- olive oil to fry
Method
- Mix the eggs and flour together in a bowl to form a thick batter. Stir in the chives and plenty of seasoning.
- Squeeze the excess liquid out of the grated potatoes and onion then spread them out on a clean tea-towel and pat dry.
- Stir into the batter, mixing well, then add the Capricorn Somerset Goats cheese.
- Heat a little olive oil in a frying pan and add 6 tablespoons of batter, pressing down each one to flatten it out. Cook for 2 ½-3 mins each side until golden.
- Keep warm while you cook the remaining batter, adding extra oil as needed.
Serving suggestions
Serve with crispy bacon and grilled tomatoes.
