Gateshead Bacon Floddies image

This Tyneside breakfast special is traditionally cooked in bacon fat and served with eggs and sausages. A kind of potato cake, floodies are said to have originated with canal workers, who cooked them on shovels over a fire. They should be served crisp and golden brown. Taken from The Best of English Food and Cooking. Yum!

Time 18m

Yield 8-12 pancakes, 4-6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 7

9 ounces baking potatoes, weighed after peeling
1 large onion
6 ounces bacon, finely chopped
1/2 cup self rising flour
2 eggs
oil, for frying
salt and pepper, to taste

Steps:

  • Grate the potatoes onto a clean dish cloth, then gather up the edges to make a pouch. Squeeze to remove as much liquid as possible.
  • Grate or finely chop the onion into a large bowl and add the potatoes, chopped bacon, flour and seasonings. Mix well.
  • Beat the eggs and stir into the potato mixture. Heat some oil in a large frying pan. Add heaping tablespoons of the potato mixture and flatten them to make thin pancakes. Cook over medium heat for 3-4 minutes on each side or until golden brown and cooked through. Lift out, drain on paper towels and serve.

These floddies were a bit too garlicky for my taste. I think I'll use less garlic next time.

The dough was a bit too dry for my liking. I think I'll add a little more milk next time.

These floddies are a great way to use up leftover bacon. I always have a few slices left over after breakfast, and these floddies are the perfect way to use them up.
