Instant mashed potato might be something you last encountered at school but I’ve been converted recently after a blind tasting of Idahoan Perfect Mash. No weird aftertaste and no gluey texture, just fluffy mash you can make using a kettle. I’m not sure it will totally replace my regular mash (after all it only takes 20 minutes to whip up) but as a storecupboard standby it’s a great quick fix for fishcakes, pie toppers and these fluffy breakfast pancakes. £1.50/109g, available in large supermarkets and online.

Method
-
step 1
Put the potato in a bowl and mix in the flour, baking powder and egg. Stir in the buttermilk, milk, spring onions and parmesan, and season really well.
-
step 2
Heat a frying pan and melt a knob of butter. Spoon in the batter to make small, 10cm-wide pancakes. When small bubbles appear, flip the pancakes and cook until golden. Serve with the pancetta, soft-boiled eggs, avocado slices, and a sprinkle of spring onions.
