Potato pancakes

Savoury, delicious and gluten free (if you’re into that sort of thing). Excellent with an egg on top and crispy bacon on the side, or served alongside soup for dunking.

  • 3 large baking potatoes, peeled and cut into large chunks
  • 1 tsp maple syrup
  • 1 egg, beaten
  • 200g rice flour
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • 50g parmesan, finely grated
  • ½ tsp onion powder
  • ¼ tsp garlic powder
  • ½ dried sage
  • ½ tsp salt
  • ½ tsp paprika
  • Pepper
  • Veg oil
  1. Pre-heat oven to 180C fan (200C) and line a baking tray with baking paper.
  2. Bring a saucepan of salted water to the boil. Slip the potatoes in without scalding yourself and cook at a bubble for 15-20 mins until soft
  3. Strain, pop into a big bowl and mash to your desired smoothness (or use a potato ricer)
  4. Add the rest of the ingredients and mix thoroughly to create a sticky dough
  5. With your hands, form dough into 8 flat roughly-circular shapes around 1½ cm thick and place onto the lined baking tray
  6. Brush with oil and bake for 30 mins. Flip over, brush the other side with oil and give them a further 15 mins until golden all over
