Ingredients

  • 2 bundles British asparagus
  • 8 rashers of smoked streaky bacon
  • 1 jar good quality hollandaise sauce
  • 30g butter
  • 1 tbsp olive or rapeseed oil

  • 1 large egg, beaten
  • 60g plain flour
  • 100ml double cream
Serves: 4       whats this
 

Directions

  1. First make the potato pancakes. Mix together the mashed potato, beaten egg and flour until smooth. Fold in the double cream, the mixture should resemble a thick porridge. Melt the butter with the oil in a frying pan. Over a medium heat, place spoonfuls of the mixture into the pan. Fry for minutes until golden brown, then carefully turn and cook for a further minutes, or until cooked through. Keep warm.
  2. Steam the asparagus over boiling water for minutes, until cooked through but still retaining some bite. Fry the bacon rashers until crisp.
  3. Place the pancakes on plates. Top with the steamed asparagus, drizzle with the hollandaise sauce and grind over some black pepper. Garnish with the rashers of streaky bacon.
