"I saw this being made on a television show last year, called Good Chef, Bad Chef and I really want to try this. These could be served on their own or as a side, or even made smaller for an appetizer."

Step by Step Method
Step 1
Combine the grated potato, garlic and onion in a bowl squeezing out any excess liquid with your hands. Season the mix with salt and a little pepper and mix through the diced bacon.
Step 2
Using a separate bowl, whisk the eggs and flour together to form a thick batter. Pour into the potato mixture, add the cayenne pepper and chives and mix well until the mix is of a sticky consistency.
Step 3
Heat a few tablespoons of the olive oil in a large non-stick pan over medium heat and add spoonfuls of the potato mixture. Flatten with the back of a spoon and fry until crispy and golden on both sides.
Step 4
Drain cakes on paper towel.
Step 5
"To make the sauce"; Mix together the herbs and sour cream in a small bowl, stirring well in a bowl and serve alongside the hot potato pancakes. Grind just a little pepper for garnish if using.
