Nurodymai

1. Boil the potatoes in salted water until tender, drain and allow to air dry for a minute or two and mash until lump free, stir in the butter, when melted, stir in the spring onions, flour and salt and pepper. Allow to cool until it’s cool enough to handle.

2. Take half of the mixture, turn onto a floured board and roll into a disc about 20-25cm in diameter. Cut into quarters and using a fish slice transfer to a dry frying pan over a medium heat, you are toasting them rather than frying. Cook for 3-4 minutes per side until golden and keep warm. Repeat with the remaining mixture.

3. While the scones are cooking, finely slice the vegetables separately preferably on a mandolin, add to a bowl and mix gently and dress with a little cider vinegar mixed with a tbsp oil and brown sugar and a little chipped dill. In a separate bowl combine with crème fraiche, horseradish, and salt and pepper.

4. To serve, put two tattie scones on each plate, top with the fennel salad, then a dollop of the sour cream and finally trout slices and a few fronds of dill and serve with lemon wedges.
