What would Easter be like without Hot Cross Buns, so, here’s a savory way to enjoy even more or them.
Ingredients
- 2 large potatoes, peeled and cut into very thin strips
- 4 tbsp oil
- 4 hot cross buns halved and lightly toasted
- 2 tbsp peanut or normal butter (optional)
- 8 rashers, cooked semi crispy, smoked streaky bacon
- 2 tbsp old style marmalade more bitter the better
Method
- Heat a large frying pan and add the oil.
- Mix the potato with a little salt and pepper.
- Place 4 piles of potato strips into the frying pan and spread out with a fork, so nice and even.
- Cook for 3-4 minutes until the edges start to brown, then carefully turn over and cook for a further 4-5 minutes nice and gently. Once cooked remove and drain well.
- Repeat the process so you end up with 8 small potato cakes, nice thin and crispy.
- Spread a little peanut or normal butter on all 8 pieces of toasted bun.
- Place 4 potato cakes on the base of 4 buns.
- Top each bun with 2 slices of bacon and a little spread of marmalade.
- Top with the last 4 reaming potato cakes, then the top of the bun.
- Serve warm.
