Potato Cakes

directions

1. 1

   mix together the ingredients until fluffy, use a stand mixer, a brief mix on low. don't worry too much about the total weights, it is basically a little over 10% flour, with just enough that the mix isn't too sticky, and about half that much as butter. you can eyeball the salt. add an extra egg if you have 800g or more potato.

2. 2

   tip out on a floured surface and press down into a 1cm thick slab. if it is too sticky, mix in a little more flour until it doesn't stick to your hand anymore.

3. 3

   cut into 6-8 farls. cook on a pan on medium heat with a little butter and oil until browned on both sides and warm through. it will take about 3 mins a side.

4. 4

   sprinkle with a little flaky salt to finish.
