Nigella’s potato cakes with smoked salmon

 

 Good Evening,

Full of the joy of Spring today, yes I know its Autumn, but just feeling good at the moment. I am working hard at work and seem to be getting to the end of my to- do list !! yay!!!!  Another reason I am in a good mood is that we have just good back from a meeting with ds2 teacher at his school, he is doing really well and I am the proudest parent ever

I am just about to settle down for the evening to watch the soaps, Holby City and I am really looking forward to watching Gordon Ramsey’s Kitchen  Nightmare’s…….. Meanwhile, I have just been surfing and found this great Nigella party food recipe.

• Potato cakes with smoked salmon     
• 3 eggs
  1/2 cup full fat milk
  2 spring onions/scallions finely sliced
  2 tablespoons olive oil
  3/4 cup smash/potato flakes
  1/4 cup all-purpose flour
  1/2 teaspoon baking powder
  1/2 teaspoon lemon juice
  About 10 ounces (300g) smoked salmon
  Small bunch dill or packetIn a batter jug, whisk the eggs, milk, finely sliced spring onions/scallions and olive oil together.
  Stir in the smash/potato flakes, flour and baking powder and then finally the lemon juice.Heat a flat griddle, and drop tablespoon sized dollops of the mixture onto the hot griddle.Cook for about 30 seconds a side or until golden brown and firm enough at the sides to flip.

  Once you have made the pancakes, and they’ve cooled a little, tear off tiny strips of smoked salmon and arrange the small slices on each pancake.

  Decorate each salmon topped pancake with a tiny feather of dill
