Potato Griddle Cakes

• 1½ lb potatoes
• 5 oz. plain flour
• 1 egg

Peel and grate the potatoes into a bowl. Mix in the flour, egg, milk and seasonings and leave the batter to stand for two hours or overnight. Grease a griddle or frying pan, and put on mixture in dessertspoonfuls. Cook until deep golden in colour on both sides. Serve hot with curls of crisp bacon, or spread with cranberry sauce or marmalade.
