Kale-Filled Potato Pancakes

Serves four

For the pancakes
450g/1 lb potatoes, peeled and diced
60g/ 2.5 oz plain flour
milk - approx 200 ml/7 fl oz

For the filling
225g/8 oz back bacon, diced
57g/3 oz unsalted butter
450g/1 lb kale, finely shredded

Put the potatoes and flour into a blender or food processor, whizz with enough milk to make a batter. While you're letting the batter rest, prepare the filling.

Dry-fry the bacon; add a third of the butter. Tip in the kale or other green vegetables and add a few tablespoons of water. Boil vigorously for five minutes, stirring continuously. Drain

Heat the rest of the butter in a small non-stick frying pan. Tip in a quarter of the batter and make a slim pancake. Allow to cook until golden on the bottom. Pour in a quarter of the filling, fold over and serve.

Repeat three more times with the rest of the batter and filling.
