Ingredients

• 1 medium potato peeled and cut into even-sized pieces
• 35g wholemeal plain flour
• ½ tsp baking powder

• 125ml semi-skimmed milk
• A few chives finely chopped

2. Sieve the flour and baking powder onto the cooled mashed potatoes. Whisk the egg and milk together and add to the potato mix with the chives. Continue whisking until smooth.

Cook for about 1 minute until the underside is golden brown and small bubbles appear. Flip the pancakes over and cook the other side until golden.
4. Remove from the pan and keep warm while cooking the remaining pancakes in the same way, adding the remaining oil to the pan. Keep the pancakes warm.
