Method

  • step 1

    Boil the potatoes in a pan of salted water for 10-12 mins. Drain and leave to steam-dry, then mash until smooth. Season to taste.

  • step 2

    Meanwhile, cook the haggis following pack instructions. Tip into a bowl and break into chunks with a fork, then fold through the mash with three quarters of the spring onion and leave to cool. Form into four potato cakes using your hands.

  • step 3

    Put the breadcrumbs in a food processor and blitz until fine. Tip onto a plate, then coat the cakes in the crumbs. Chill for 15 mins.

  • step 4

    Heat the oil in a large non-stick frying pan over a medium heat. Fry the potato cakes for 5-6 mins on both sides, or until golden.

  • step 5

    Heat a large pan of water until just boiling. Crack one of the eggs into a small bowl. Swirl the water to create a whirlpool, then gently tip the egg into the centre of the pan. Cook for 2-3 mins until poached to your liking, then repeat with the remaining eggs.

  • step 6

    Serve the cakes topped with the eggs and remaining spring onions.

Really enjoyed these and will make them again but I’m going to change the ratio of potato to haggis. Sometimes the haggis flavour gets lost.

This is one of my and my fiancé's favourite recipes. We add neeps as well to the cakes or serve them on the side as a mash. The egg yolk stops it from being too dry. It tastes amazing, it's not difficult to make and it's a fun spin on the traditional burns meal.

question

Feels like a daft question but I'll ask anyway - it says these are freezable, but at what point is best, when they have chilled or after cooking?

Hi, Sorry we should have made this clearer - after they've chilled then defrost completely before cooking as stated. Thanks, Barney, Good Food team
