Method
step 1
Mix the flour, egg yolks and milk to a smooth batter and season well. Whisk the whites to soft peaks and fold into the batter. Sir in the veg.
step 2
Heat a non-stick pan and spray with a tiny bit of oil. Drop in spoonfuls of the mix to make small pancakes, a few at a time, and cook until they start to bubble on top, about 5 minutes. Keep the heat about medium so the potato can cook through. Flip over and cook for 5 minutes. Sprinkle with spring onion and chilli.
