Petunjuk

1 Grate the potatoes (including the skins) into a bowl. Wrap the grated potato in a clean tea towel or some muslin and squeeze very well, removing as much liquid as possible.

2 Place the grated potato in a large mixing bowl and combine with the mashed potato.

3 Add the flour and season well.

4 Gradually mix in the milk; use less milk for a thicker pancake, or more for thinner pancakes that can be used as wraps. Let the batter rest for a few minutes.

5 Melt a knob of butter in a heavy frying pan over a medium heat.

6 Spoon some of the mixture into the pan and flatten into thick rounds. Cook for 3-4 minutes on each side or until golden-brown. Keep warm in a low oven while you repeat with the remaining boxty.

7 Top with creme fraiche, smoked salmon, a crack of black pepper, a squeeze of fresh lemon juice and some watercress leaves.
