FOR THE PANCAKES:

  • 250g floury potatoes, cubed or 200g leftover mash potato

2. Mash the cooked potatoes until smooth.
3. Beat in the butter, chives and egg yolks, and then fold in the flour until well combined.

5. Season to taste with salt and freshly ground black pepper.
6. Carefully fold the whisked egg whites into the potato pancake batter until well combined.

8. Fry the potato pancakes for 2-3 minutes on each side, or until risen and golden-brown on both sides.
9. Remove from the pan and keep warm. Repeat the process with the remaining batter mixture.
