Gateshead Bacon Floddies image

This Tyneside breakfast special is traditionally cooked in bacon fat and served with eggs and sausages. A kind of potato cake, floodies are said to have originated with canal workers, who cooked them on shovels over a fire. They should be served crisp and golden brown. Taken from The Best of English Food and Cooking. Yum!

Time 18m

Yield 8-12 pancakes, 4-6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 7

9 ounces baking potatoes, weighed after peeling
1 large onion
6 ounces bacon, finely chopped
1/2 cup self rising flour
2 eggs
oil, for frying
salt and pepper, to taste

Steps:

  • Grate the potatoes onto a clean dish cloth, then gather up the edges to make a pouch. Squeeze to remove as much liquid as possible.
  • Grate or finely chop the onion into a large bowl and add the potatoes, chopped bacon, flour and seasonings. Mix well.
  • Beat the eggs and stir into the potato mixture. Heat some oil in a large frying pan. Add heaping tablespoons of the potato mixture and flatten them to make thin pancakes. Cook over medium heat for 3-4 minutes on each side or until golden brown and cooked through. Lift out, drain on paper towels and serve.

These bacon floddies were a bit too sweet for my taste. I think I would have preferred them with less sugar. But the pastry was flaky and the filling was flavorful.

I've made these bacon floddies several times now, and they always turn out great. They're so easy to make, and they're always a crowd-pleaser. I love that I can make them ahead of time and just pop them in the oven when I'm ready to serve them.
