Ingredients

330g Desirée potatoes, peeled

2 spring onions, finely sliced

sea salt and fresh ground black pepper

1 heaped teaspoon plain flour

a small knob of butter

2 free-range eggs

3 slices of good-quality smoked salmon, from sustainable sources, ask your fishmonger

2 heaped teaspoons soured cream

a bunch of fresh chives, finely chopped

Method

These crispy, grated potato cakes are an absolute dream topped with the soft-boiled eggs

  1. Boil the potatoes in salted water until just cooked. Drain well and, when cool enough to handle, grate on the coarse side of a cheese grater into a mixing bowl. Add the spring onions, seasoning, flour and half the butter and mix well. Divide into 4 equal balls and pat into flat rounds. Leave covered in the fridge overnight if you can.
  2. Heat a non-stick frying pan over a moderate heat and add the rest of the butter. Gently fry the potato cakes, 2 at a time, for 2 to 3 minutes each side until light brown and heated through. Keep warm.
  3. Meanwhile, soft boil the eggs for 4 minutes – this recipe works best with runny yolks. Arrange a couple of potato cakes on each plate and top with smoked salmon. Shell the eggs and place on top. Spoon soured cream over the eggs and sprinkle over the chives. Season well.
