Best Haggis Potato Cakes Recipes

HAGGIS POTATO CAKES

Steps:

• Boil the potatoes in a pan of salted water for 10-12 mins. Drain and leave to steam-dry, then mash until smooth. Season to taste.
• Meanwhile, cook the haggis following pack instructions. Tip into a bowl and break into chunks with a fork, then fold through the mash with three quarters of the spring onion and leave to cool. Form into four potato cakes using your hands.
• Put the breadcrumbs in a food processor and blitz until fine. Tip onto a plate, then coat the cakes in the crumbs. Chill for 15 mins.
• Heat the oil in a large non-stick frying pan over a medium heat. Fry the potato cakes for 5-6 mins on both sides, or until golden.
• Heat a large pan of water until just boiling. Crack one of the eggs into a small bowl. Swirl the water to create a whirlpool, then gently tip the egg into the centre of the pan. Cook for 2-3 mins until poached to your liking, then repeat with the remaining eggs.
• Serve the cakes topped with the eggs and remaining spring onions.

HAGGIS

Steps:

• Rinse the stomach thoroughly and soak overnight in cold salted water.
• Rinse the liver, heart, and tongue. In a large pot of boiling, salted water, cook these parts over medium heat for 2 hours. Remove and mince. Remove any gristle or skin and discard.
• In a large bowl, combine the minced liver, heart, tongue, suet, onions, and toasted oats. Season with salt, pepper, and dried herbs. Moisten with some of the cooking water so the mixture binds. Remove the stomach from the cold salted water and fill 2/3 with the mixture. Sew or tie the stomach closed. Use a turning fork to pierce the stomach several times. This will prevent the haggis from bursting.
• In a large pot of boiling water, gently place the filled stomach, being careful not to splash. Cook over high heat for 3 hours.
• Serve with mashed potatoes, if you serve it at all.
