Ingredients

• 450g waxy potatoes (such as Charlotte)
• 350g parsnips or other root veg
• 1 small onion, halved and thinly sliced
• 1 garlic clove, finely chopped
• 1 egg, beaten
• 4-5 tbsp sunflower oil
• To serve
• 6 rashers of streaky bacon or slices of prosciutto
• 6 stems of cherry tomatoes on the vine
• 6 eggs

Directions

1. Peel and coarsely grate the potatoes and parsnips-if you're using a food processor, attach the medium grater. Squeeze out as much liquid as possible with your hands and put them in a bowl.
2. Stir in the onion, garlic, egg and season if you like. Divide the mixture into six and roughly shape into flat cakes. Heat 2 tbsp of the oil in a large non-stick frying pan and fry three of the cakes on a low heat for 4-5 mins on each side until golden and tender. Transfer to kitchen paper with a slotted spoon and leave to cool while frying the remainder, adding remaining oil as necessary. Meanwhile grill the bacon and tomatoes, poach the eggs and serve alongside.
