Any edible morel mushroom of any size can be used in this recipe and it also works with most other mushrooms, particularly chanterelles, boletes and Agaricaceae.
Ingredients:
900g potatoes, coarsely grated
80g onions, finely chopped
80g chopped morels
50g lardons (smoked bacon cubes)
50g butter
chopped chives and parsley
salt and black pepper, to taste
Method:
Melt the butter in a pan, add the lardons, morels and onions then fry for a few minutes. Reduce the heat, cover, and allow to sweat until soft (about 10 minutes). Now add the potatoes and half the herbs. Mix to combine, season and tip into a frying pan.
Flatten the mixture into a thick pancake and cook on each side until brown. Sprinkle with the remaining herbs and serve.
