Mix the grated potato, mashed potato, reserved starch, flour, @baking powder{1%tsp}, @egg{1} and @buttermilk{150%ml} into a thick, spoonable batter.

Season well with @salt{} and pepper.

Fry spoonfuls in @butter{40%g} over medium heat, 3–4 minutes per side, until deep golden and cooked through. ~{4%minutes}

Keep finished pancakes warm in a low oven while frying the rest.

Serve hot with butter, or alongside bacon and eggs.
