Hiya! Today we will discuss about Potato & spring onion breakfast pancakes

Ingredients

Ingredients
140g floury potatoes (weighed after peeling), cut into large chunks
50g self-raising flour
½ tsp bicarbonate of soda
3 large eggs
5 tbsp milk
3 spring onions, finely chopped
2 tsp sunflower oil, plus extra if needed
knob of butter
6 rashers streaky bacon (smoked or unsmoked)
Tip
Double up

If you’re making a double quantity of these pancakes, put the cooked ones on a plate covered with foil in a low oven to keep warm while you fry the next batch.

Serving tip

These pancakes make a delicious alternative to Yorkshire puddings with your Sunday roast.

Direction

Put the potatoes in a large pan of salted water and boil until tender. Drain well, tip back into the pan, shake for 1 min over a gentle heat to dry them off, then mash and leave to cool. Put the cooled mash in a bowl with the flour and bicarb. Whisk 1 egg with the milk, season, tip into the bowl and whisk until smooth. Stir in the spring onions, reserving some to serve. In a non-stick frying pan, heat half the oil and butter until sizzling, then spoon in half the pancake batter to make 3 pancakes. Cook for 1 min or so on each side until browned and set underneath, then flip and cook the other side. Keep warm in the oven while you make 3 more pancakes. Wipe out the pan, add the bacon and sizzle until almost crisp. Push to one side and crack in the 2 remaining eggs – with a splash more oil if needed. Fry to your liking, then serve with the pancakes and bacon, sprinkled with the remaining spring onions.

Heat oven to 160C/140C fan/gas 3. Sit the chicken in a large roasting tin.
