4 Servings

Ingredients

Quantity Ingredient
Stephen Ceideburg
1 large Carrot
1 large Potato
½ Onion
2 tablespoons Chopped parsley
1 Egg
1½ tablespoon Milk
Salt and pepper to taste
1 tablespoon Flour
Olive oil
Creme fraiche

Directions

These little pancakes, like a lot of now fashionable food, are equally at home as nursery fare or as an entree or side-dish at a smart dinner party.

Nice served with a dollop of creme fraiche.

Grate (a food processor speeds things up) 1 large carrot, 1 large potato and half an onion and transfer to a bowl. Add 2 tablespoons chopped parsley, 1 egg, beaten, 1½ tablespoons milk, salt and pepper to taste and 1 tablespoon plain flour. (Add a little more flour if the mixture looks too thin.) Heat a little olive oil in a heavy frying pan and drop in the mixture by the dessertspoon if you want elegant little pancakes, by the heaping tablespoon for a more pedestrian size. Cook until brown and crisp on the underside then turn and cook the other side. Serve.
