Bacon Hashbrowns

  • 12

Ingredients

  • 3 medium potatoes
  • 1 small onion
  • 3 strips bacon, chopped
  • 1 tbsp self-rising flour
  • 1/2 tbsp milk
  • 1 egg
  • freshly ground black pepper
  • vegetable oil (for deep-frying)
  • sea salt

Preparation

Step 1

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.
