Potato Pancakes with Smoked Salmon

Step by step

Method

1. 1

   Boil potatoes in salted water until tender then drain well. Mash until smooth and mix in butter. Allow to cool slightly. Make a well in the flour and mix together the milk and eggs. Pour the milk mixture in to flour and mix well. Beat in the cooled mashed potato to make a smooth batter.

2. 2

   Heat a little oil in a frying pan and drop in spoons of batter, allowing space for spreading. Cook for a minute then check and turn over when golden on the bottom. Remove to a cooling rack and cook the rest of the pancakes.

3. 3

   Lightly whip the double cream and mix in some finely grated horseradish, fresh black pepper and chopped herbs. Serve the pancakes topped with some sliced smoked salmon, a small spoon of horseradish cream and a few globes of caviar.
