POTATO BREAD

400g Maris Piper potatoes
skin on
50g salted butter
plus extra for the frying pan
100g self-raising flour
plus extra for dusting
½ tsp sea salt flakes
ground to make ½ tsp black peppercorns

DRESSING

3 tbsp Dijon mustard
3 tbsp white wine vinegar
1 shallot
finely chopped
a handful pickled silverskin onions
finely chopped
a handful gherkins
finely chopped
½ a small bunch flat-leaf parsley
finely chopped

Method

step 1
For the potato bread, put the potatoes in a pan of salted cold water, bring to the boil and cook for 25-30 minutes or until they’re cooked through. Drain, allow to cool slightly then peel. Tip into a bowl and mash with the butter, then stir through the self raising flour, salt and pepper, so it comes together as a dough. Form into a ball.
step 2
For the dressing, put the mustard and white wine vinegar in a bowl and whisk together with some seasoning. Stir through the shallot, pickled onion, gherkins and parsley.
step 3
On a lightly floured worksurface, gently roll out the potato dough until 1.5cm thick and 25cm in diameter. Slide onto a lightly floured baking sheet.
step 4
Heat ½ tsp of butter in a frying pan large enough to fit the dough, swirling to coat the entire pan. Gently slide the potato bread into the pan and cook for 5 minutes until crisp and golden. Slide the bread onto a plate and then flip the uncooked side down into the pan. Cook on this side for another 5 minutes until golden.
step 5
Heat the grill to medium. Dot the potato bread with the raclette and put under the grill for 4-5 minutes until the cheese is fully melted and bubbling.
step 6
To serve, spoon over the dressing.
