Number Of Ingredients 6

1 pound of floury potatoes (like russets or baking potatoes)
1 cup of milk
2 large tablespoons of all-purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon of salt and a sprinkling of pepper
2 tablespoons of bacon fat or olive oil (bacon fat is traditional)
2 bunches of spring onions

Steps:

Boil and drain the potatoes and mash them with a generous knob of butter and a cup of milk. Allow to cool (ideally store them overnight in the fridge).
Place two large spoonfuls of flour on a plate, season with salt and pepper. Roll out mash potato on a cutting board and form them into patties about two and a half inches across and one inch deep. Dip them into the seasoned flour and then place them in a heated non-stick skillet (use the bacon fat or olive oil).
Fry for three to four minutes under a medium heat on both sides, until golden. Meanwhile chop and fry the spring onions in four tablespoons of olive oil in a separate skillet. Serve the onions and oil over the potato cakes.
