Potatoes (peeled), about 330g
Spring onions (sliced finely), 2 pieces
Salt and black pepper to taste
Flour, 1 teaspoon
Butter, 1 stick
Large organic eggs, 2 pieces
Smoked salmon, 3 slices
Sour cream, 2 teaspoons
Fresh chives (chopped finely), a bunch
Cooking Procedure:
Fill a stockpot with water and add some salt. Then, peel the potatoes and boil them inside the stockpot. Once cooked, drain thoroughly and remove the potatoes. Allow the potatoes to cool a bit before you grate them using a cheese grater. Put the grated potatoes in a mixing bowl. Then, add in the chopped spring onions, flour, half portion of the butter and the seasoning. Blend the mixture well using a spoon.
Afterwards, scoop some of the mixture and form it into four balls with equal sizes. Next, pat them flat on a plate, retaining the round shape. Cover the plate with a plastic cling wrap and refrigerate overnight.
Then, heat a deep frying pan over medium heat setting. Melt the butter and add in the potato cakes. Fry the potatoes for 2 to 3 minutes on each side. When the potatoes turn golden brown in colour, remove them from heat. Drain excess oil with paper towels.
Next, boil the eggs for about 4 minutes. This will result to soft-boiled eggs with runny yolks, which is just right for this recipe. Then, arrange at least two potato cakes in one plate and top it with one piece of smoked salmon. Shell the soft-boiled eggs and place two of these on top of the salmon. Spread sour cream over the boiled eggs. Sprinkle a generous amount of chives.
