Ingredients

4 large potatoes, cooked and mashed
2 large eggs, beaten
2 tbsp. all-purpose flour
1 tsp. baking powder
Salt and freshly grated black pepper
1/4 - 1/2 cup or 125 - 250 ml whole milk
Butter for frying
7oz or 180g Burren Smoked Irish Organic Salmon,
cut into 24 (1/2-inch / 1 cm wide) strips
1/2 cup or 125 ml sour cream
or crème fraiche
Fresh chives for garnish

Method

  1. Put the potatoes, eggs, flour, baking powder, salt and pepper in a food processor. Pulse 4-5 times to blend, and then gradually add enough of the milk to make a thick, smooth batter.

  2. Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Brush the pan with butter. Drop spoonsful of the batter into the pan and cook for 2-3 minutes on each side, or until browned and heated through. Repeat with additional butter and remaining batter. The cakes can be served immediately or refrigerated, covered, overnight; reheat them in a preheated oven.

  3. To serve, put a spoonful of sour cream or crème fraîche on top of each pancake. Put a piece of rolled salmon on top, sprinkle with pepper, and garnish with chives.
