Ingredients:
1-1/2 lb. mashed potatoes
3 teaspoon self-raising flour
3 eggs
3 tablespoon milk
3 tablespoon double cream
2 egg whites
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
Freshly grated nutmeg
Unsalted butter for greasing
3 ounce sliced smoked salmon
Procedure:
Mix mashed potato with flour, whole eggs, milk and cream. Beat until smooth. Beat in the extra egg whites and seasonings.
Pass through a sieve into a clean bowl. Put to one side to rest.
Heat a griddle or skillet until evenly hot. Grease lightly. Drop dessertspoons of mixture onto the griddle, it should hold its shape straight away.
Put the small pieces of smoked salmon on top and then a little more potato batter to enclose the filling.
After about a minute, when the underside is golden, flip over with a palette knife and cook on the other side.
Serve 4 or 5 per portion surrounded with a rosemary cream sauce, with a few shreds of smoked salmon on top, or a teaspoon of salmon caviar.
