Yield Serves 4

Number Of Ingredients 6

1 egg
1/4 cup (50ml) light (single) cream
9 ounces (250g) baking or russet (floury) potatoes, peeled and coarsely grated
2 tablespoons (15g) all-purpose (plain) flour
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
2 tablespoons (25g) butter

Steps:

  • In a bowl, whisk together the egg with the cream. Add the potato and flour, season with salt and pepper, and stir to mix. The mixture will be slightly runny.
  • Melt the butter in a frying pan over medium heat. Add the potato mixture and cook for 8 to 10 minutes on each side, until the surface is golden brown and the potato is cooked through. Remove to a serving plate and cut into wedges to serve.

Tips:

  • Use a variety of ingredients to create a well-balanced and flavorful bar. This could include oats, quinoa, brown rice, nuts, seeds, dried fruits, and protein powder.
  • Make sure to bind the ingredients together with a sticky agent, such as honey, maple syrup, or peanut butter. This will help to keep the bars from crumbling.
  • Press the bars firmly into the pan to ensure that they hold their shape. You can use a spatula or the back of a spoon to do this.
  • Chill the bars for at least 30 minutes before cutting them. This will help to firm them up and make them easier to cut.
  • Store the bars in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 1 week, or in the freezer for up to 3 months.
