Ingredients:
1kg floury potatoes
300g plain flour
1 egg
pinch of salt
oil for frying
sliced of ham
grated cheese
Method:
Scrub the potatoes clean, place in a pan of lightly-salted water and boil for about 30 minutes, or until tender. Drain then set aside to cool until they can be handled. Peel the potatoes and mash until smooth then work in the flour and egg. Add a pinch of salt.
Form into a ball then turn out onto a floured work surface. Roll the dough out as thinly as you can then cut into rounds (use a plate as a template).
Heat oil in a frying pan, add a pancake and fry on both sides until golden brown. Serve hot.

Prepare the pancake mix as before. Heat oil in a frying pan, then add one of the pancake rounds. Set a piece of ham and some grated cheese on one half of the pancake. Flip over the second half to enclose the filling (seal the edges with the tines of a fork) and continue frying (flip over half way through) until the cheese has melted.
