I was being a bit ridiculous with the prep and cook times above, it depends on how much you make and how many you think you are wanting each person to have.l
This is a Nigella Lawson (The Domestic Goddess for sure!) recipe that I was excited about because it uses potato flakes....None of that grating and squeezing....Marvellous :)
** The recipe didn't call for seasoning but I felt it needed it. Personal choice as always.
*** I didn't have any spring onions one day and used garlic chives from my garden. Any pungent herb would be fine.
**** I would suggest doing a "test" one first. You might prefer them thicker or thinner.
***** Smoked salmon and sour cream topped with parsley/chives/spring onion is an option
Finely sliced leftover beef with horseradish cream is another.
Chicken goujons with sweet chilli sauce.
Chargrilled ( drained from a jar) veges with feta
Finely sliced leftover ham/turkey/pork with mustard or relish..............
Look in your fridge......see what you have :)
****** For whatever reason, I added more potato flakes to the mix. I think it needs to be pikelet consistency so not too runny :)
I thought that this recipe was brilliant for the fact that it uses pantry staples (ok, you might have to buy the Deb like I did) and it's just so easy, adaptable for toppings and impressive.
Let me know your variations...... :)
