Potato floddies
3 December 2021 02:44 pmPotato floddies ("1940s junk food" -- but I gather they go back to the days of the navvies building canals):
I grated up a couple of potatoes (skin and all) and added some grated swede and finely chopped leek leaves, plus a pinch of mustard, mixed herbs and pepper and salt for flavour. Then mixed in some mouldy dry ends of cheese and a handful of flour, and water to bind to a stiff dropping consistency.
Cooked like Scotch pancakes in a very little very hot dripping on a cast-iron frying-pan; like pancakes, the later batch were much less inclined to stick, so you probably do need to get the pan really well heated through.
A tasty lunch for a cold day. https://www.copymethat.com/r/eqPrYLEhl/potato-floddies/
