Potato cake method

Step 1

Heat the oven to 200ᵒC/gas mark 6 and cover a baking tray with a sheet of greaseproof paper

Peel the potatoes and cut them into quarters before placing them into a pan of salted water. Bring to the boil and cook for around 10 minutes or until tender

Drain the potatoes and return to the pan and mash well over a low heat.

Step 4

Take the pan off the heat and add the 50g of butter and egg yolk. Season with the black pepper and mix well

Step 5

Divide the mixture into 8 and after sprinkling gram flour on your hands to stop them from sticking, shape into flat cakes

Step 6

Place the cakes on the prepared baking sheet and bake in the oven for 15 minutes

Step 7

Turn the cakes using a spatula and bake for another 15 minutes

Step 8

With about 10 minutes for the potato cakes to finish baking, make the filling

Filling method

Step 1

Cut the mushrooms into rough chunky pieces

Step 2

In a large frying pan heat the oil and add the remaining 30g of butter

Step 3

Once the butter is bubbling, fry the mushrooms moving them all the time until tender

Step 4

Add the garlic, thyme and lemon juice, give it a taste and then season with a good pinch of ground pepper

Step 5

Remove the potato cakes from the oven and place 4 cakes onto individual plates

Step 6

Divide the mushroom filling equally between them, placing on top of the cakes and then top with the second potato cake
