  • 100g plain flour
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • 1/2 tsp fine salt
  • 1/2 tsp black pepper
  • 2 eggs
  • 150ml whole milk

Let’s get cooking!

  • Step 1 of 4

    PREP YOUR TATES

    Preheat the oven to 120°C.

    Put the chopped potatoes into a pan of salted water, reserving the whole ones, bring to the boil and cook for 12-15 minutes until tender. Drain well and leave to steam dry

    Meanwhile, coarsely grate the rest of the potatoes, place in a clean tea towel and squeeze out as much liquid as possible. Set aside, discarding the liquid.

    Mash the cooked potatoes with the butter until smooth, then fold through the grated potato.

    MIX YOUR WAFFLES

    In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, salt and pepper. In a separate bowl, whisk together the eggs and milk, then pour into the dry ingredients and whisk until combined. Fold through the potato mixture and chopped chives.

    COOK THE WAFFLES

    Preheat a waffle iron.

    Lightly grease it with butter, then spoon in enough mixture without overfilling, as it will expand as it cooks (how many batches you need will depend on the size of your waffle iron).

    Close the lid and cook for 5-7 minutes or until golden brown and crisp. Keep the cooked waffles warm in the oven while you repeat with the remaining mixture.

    FINISH & SERVE

    Plate the potato waffles with the ribbons of smoked trout and sour cream. Finish with a sprinkle of black pepper, flaky sea salt and an extra sprinkle of chives. Serve with lemon wedges.
