1

Peel the potatoes then roughly chop half. Place in a saucepan of salted water and bring to a boil. Simmer until fork-tender, approx. 10 minutes.

2

Coarsely grate the remaining potatoes into a bowl. Toss with half the salt then wrap in a muslin cloth and squeeze out as much liquid as possible.

3

Place the milk, flour, baking powder, egg and remaining salt in a large bowl and whisk until smooth.

4

Drain the boiled potatoes, return to the saucepan and mash until smooth. Add the cream, 45g of butter and grated potatoes. Stir the mashed potato into the milk mixture.

5

Heat a non-stick frying pan with a little oil. Drop 4 tbsp of the batter into the pan and cook until golden. Flip and cook on the other side until golden brown.

6

Serve the potato pancakes warm, topped with a dollop of crème fraîche, salmon ribbons and chives.
