Bacon Hash Browns
Courtesy of www.gourmettraveller.wordpress.com
- 3 medium potatoes
- 1 small onion
- 3 rashers streaky bacon, chopped
- 1 tbsp self-raising flour
- 1/2 tbsp milk
- 1 egg
- freshly ground black pepper
- vegetable oil (for deep-frying)
- sea salt
- Peel and coarsely grate the potatoes and onions and place in a large mixing bowl. Finely chop the bacon and add to the same bowl, together with the flour, milk, egg and a good grinding of black pepper. Mix well to combine.
- Heat 3 inches of your oil in a deep pan and place heaped tablespoonfuls of the potato mixture in to fry – you will need to do them in two batches. Deep fry for 2 minutes until the edges start to turn golden then flip over and cook for another 2-3 minutes.
- Drain on kitchen towels and season liberally with salt.
- Eat immediately, or keep warm in a low oven until ready to serve.
Enjoy your bacon hash browns!
