Method

  1. 01

    Roughly crush the cold potatoes

    3 min

    Roughly crush the cold potatoes in a bowl, leaving small chunks. Add the chopped greens, spring onions, mustard, salt and pepper and mix without making a puree.

  2. 02

    Heat half the butter and oil

    3 min

    Heat half the butter and oil in the frying pan over medium heat. Add the mixture and press it into an even 2-3cm layer.

  3. 03

    Cook for 8-10 minutes without disturbing

    9 min

    Cook for 8-10 minutes without disturbing until a deep crust forms underneath. Loosen the edge with a spatula.

  4. 04

    Slide the cake onto a large plate

    3 min

    Slide the cake onto a large plate. Invert the pan over it and turn both together. Add the remaining butter and oil, then slide the uncooked side back into the pan.

  5. 05

    Cook for another 7-9 minutes

    8 min

    Cook for another 7-9 minutes until crisp and hot throughout. Alternatively, turn it in four wedges if that feels safer.

  6. 06

    Cut into wedges and serve immediately

    3 min

    Cut into wedges and serve immediately, ideally with eggs, cold meats or a roast.
