At the moment, we’re only going to the shops once a week, no top up shops, no nipping out for this or that – what I come back from the shops with has to last. There are dickheads hoarding, and there is a virus to contend with, and I have a pregnant wife at home so have to be careful.
For lunch yesterday, I turned two small rather sorry looking spuds into some mash, mixed with some flour, chives an egg and spring onion, and topped with a fried egg. This was accompanied by some store bought sriracha and more chives from the garden. I’ve adjusted the recipe below, because I think mine were a bit flour heavy. I’d also like to try this with some chorizo chucked in or some extra herbs and spices. But as a way to use up some leftovers, pretty good!
Ingredients
- Two small/medium potatoes
- Knob of butter
- salt
- pepper
- 40g flour
- two eggs
- spring onion
- chives
- sriracha
Method
- Boil and mash your potatoes with the butter and a crack of seasoning
- Mix the potatoes with the chives, onion flour and one egg until you have a paste
- Spoon patties if the mixture into a pan with a little oil, fry and flip over
- Meanwhile, fry an egg
- Place cakes on a plate, top with the egg, sprinkle drives and swirl round sriracha
Tips
- Half a fried onion and a pinch of garlic, maybe some chorizo or even some sausage would really make these cakes a bit more full on.
