Ingredients:
1 lb mealy potatoes, peeled and grated
2 scallions, chopped
2 tablespoons self-rising flour
2 eggs, beaten
2 tablespoons vegetable oil
salt and pepper
fresh chives, to garnish
2/3 cup sour cream
4 1/2 ounces smoked salmon
Directions:
Rinse the grated potatoes under cold running water, drain, and pat dry on paper towels. Transfer to a mixing bowl.
Mix the scallions, flour, and eggs into the potatoes and season well with salt and pepper.
Heat 1 tablespoon of the vegetable oil in a heavy skillet.
Drop about 4 tablespoons of the mixture into the skillet and spread each one with the back of a spoon to form a circle (the mixture should make 16 pancakes).
Cook for about 5-7 minutes, turning once, until golden. Drain well.
Heat the remaining oil and cook the remaining mixture in batches.
Top the pancakes with the sour cream and smoked salmon, garnish with fresh chives, and serve hot.
