IRISH POTATO CAKES

Steps:

• Mix all the ingredients together in a bowl, they should come together to form a soft dough. (see note 2 if your dough is too wet)
• Shape the dough into two roughly equal sized balls. Sprinkle your work surface generously with flour and use your hands (or a floured rolling pin) to flatten out a disk about 1cm thick.
• Cut the disk into 4 quarters.
• Use the excess flour from the board to give each potato cake a covering of flour, set to one side and repeat with the second ball of dough.
• Place a large frying pan or griddle pan over a medium heat. (don't add any oil)
• Dry fry the potato cakes for 4 minutes on one side until they are coloured (see note 3 )
• Carefully flip the potato cakes and cook for a further 4 minutes until heated through and dark brown in places.
