Bacon Floddies

[Ally]

I caught a bit of Ade Edmondson on TV yesterday making Bacon Floddies up Newcastle way (I think it was.)

They looked so easy I made a batch today.

12 of them.

They were all eaten in 6 minutes flat!

If anyone wants the recipe I'll happily post.

I missed Ade yesterday but have put him on series record from today - I love Ade, ever since he was Vyvian

225gms peeled potatoes (waxy was recommended but I just used ordinary)
2 medium onions peeled
150gms bacon, finely chopped
50gms SR flour
Salt
Black pepper
2 beaten eggs
Good scoosh of oil

Grate the potatoes, squeeze out all the excess water and place in a bowl. Grate the onions and add to the potatoes with the bacon, flour and seasoning. Mix this together very well.
Add the eggs to this mixture.
Heat the oil in a large frying pan. Put tablespoons of the mixture into the pan and fry gently for 5-8 minutes, turning once and making sure cooked through.

Drain onto kitchen paper and serve immediately. I served it with fried eggs and sausages.

Dead simple but dead tasty.

As Conor said..they were eaten so quickly they didn't touch the sides!

Added to say I added a few chilli flakes to the second half of the mixture.
