3 large potatoes
1 small onion
1 egg
salt and pepper
olive oil for frying
Method
Grate the potatoes on a coarse grater – no need to peel first – and place into a bowl. Do the same with the onion – but you might cry! Try using a food processor instead. Place the onion in the bowl with the potato and use kitchen paper to absorb some of the moisture. Add the egg to the grated mixture and mix well, then season with salt and pepper.
Heat a frying pan with about 3 tablespoons olive oil. Place the potato mixture in spoonfuls into the oil and press down to make a flatter shape. Cook carefully for about 5 minutes on each side until golden brown and cooked through. Serve with poached eggs, baked tomatoes and a drizzle of balsamic glaze.
