This recipe is based on Gordon Ramsay‘s. It’s a bit of a fiddle, but it’s worth it in the end, especially when they are part of a full English breakfast and to be shared with the family.
- 4 medium-sized potatoes, peeled and grated
- 1 onion, peeled and grated
- salt
- pepper
- cayenne pepper
- extra virgin olive oil
- two or three small knobs of butter
- mix the potato and onion in a colander or sieve, squeeze with your hands to get as much moisture out as possible
- add the salt, pepper and a sprinkle of cayenne
- heat a drop of olive oil in a large frying pan and add the mixture
- keep the heat up fairly high and squash the mixture down with a spatula
- put the knobs of butter round the edge of the pan and when the bottom is browned turn it over
- it’s rather like a tortilla, but without the eggs
Gordon put his is the oven and cooked the eggs on top, but the first time I made this recipe, I fried the eggs separately and put the bacon in the microwave and then put them on top.
