POTATO BLINIS

Ingredients
450g floury potatoes, such as King Edwards or Maris Piperpeeled and boiled
60g self-raising flour, sifted
3 Eggs
200ml Milk
pinch of Nutmeg
2 egg whites
Crème fraîche, to serve
Smoked salmon, to serve


Method
1. Put the potatoes through a ricer or mash them. Place in a mixing bowl.

2. Mix in the flour.

3. Beat 3 eggs together in a bowl and mix them into the potatoe mixture.

4. Add the milk and a pinch of nutmeg.

5. In a mixing bowl, whisk the egg whites until soft peaks form.

6. Fold a third of the whisked egg white into the potato mixture. Fold in the remaining whisked egg white, taking care not to knock the air out of the mixture.

7. Heat a lightly oiled blini pan or small, heavy-based frying pan.

8. Drop in spoonfuls of the potato batter onto the pan and fry until golden brown on both sides and cooked through. Once fried, remove the potato blinis from the pan and keep warm.

9. Repeat the process until all the batter has been used up.

10. Serve the pancakes topped with crème fraiche and smoked salmon.

Comparing the two the pinch of nutmeg could be added to Dereks.  I think this would be the easier for camping as it takes a lot hand beating to stiffen egg whites and I am basically lazy.

Question for Derek:  Would you knock down the risen dough?  Maybe this could be left to rise overnight and be ready to use in the morning.

After having similar on cruises I also like the tang of some capers on them.  I rather that than lemon juice.

Thanks will put them on my "try" list.

I wonder how these recipes would work with instant mashed potato?
Thinking of a camping situation.
