Ingredients

  • 75g self-raising flour
  • 1 large egg
  • 4 tbsp milk
  • 2 tbsp snipped chives
  • 325g red-skinned potato, scrubbed
  • 1 tbsp flavourless oil
  • 15g unsalted butter
  • grated zest of 1 lemon plus a squeeze of juice
  • 250g ricotta
  • 120g Taste the Difference smoked salmon

Step by step

Get ahead
Prepare to the end of step 3 the day before, cool, cover and chill. Reheat on a baking tray at 180°C, fan 160°C, gas 4 for 10-15 minutes.
  1. Sift the flour and a pinch of salt into a bowl. Make a well in the centre, then add the egg and milk. Whisk to a thick, smooth batter; stir in most of the chives.
  2. Coarsely grate the potato (skin and all); squeeze out the excess moisture, stirring the potato into the batter as you work, to avoid discolouration.
  3. Heat a large nonstick frying pan with half the oil and half the butter. Add half the batter, in 4 separate spoonfuls. Cook for 3 minutes each side over a medium heat, until golden (don’t cook them too quickly or the potato will still be raw). Keep warm and repeat to make 8 fritters in total.
    Tip
    For vegetarians, replace the salmon with some large flat mushrooms baked until tender, with a little lemon and butter in the centre.
  4. Meanwhile, stir the lemon zest and a squeeze of juice into the ricotta; season. Spoon on top of the fritters and serve with a slice of smoked salmon; scatter with the remaining chives.
