Crepes can be made into two types, sweet or savoury. Today is my youngest son’s 14th birthday, So I decided to make a hearty brunch for him before he heads out for his fencing practice. I combined two of his favourites, mashed potatoes and bacon.

Ingredients (Crepe)

• 143g sifted all purpose flour
• 263g milk
• 43g melted butter
• 191g egg
• 10g sugar
• 50g grated parmesan

Ingredients(Filling)

• 1200g mashed potato
• 73g milk
• 120g melted butter
• 80g bacon bits
• Salt and pepper to taste
• 1 tbs of dried parsley

Toppings

• Sour cream
• bacon bits
• chives or spring onion

Method (batter)

• Prepare your batter by mixing all the wet ingredients together, which are the eggs, melted butter, and milk. whisk until all well mixed
• Add in your sugar and parmesan, then whisk it thoroughly
• Add in your sifted flour, whisk until no lumps for flour can be seen. Do not overmix. As this will give you a more chewy texture.
• Heat up your non stick 23cm pan on low heat fire, slightly oiled it with butter. Do it only on your first piece crepe.
• Pour about 1/4 cup of batter (60ml) into the pan.
• When the side starts to brown, flip to the other side to cook it for a few seconds about 10 seconds. Then set aside
• Do the same for rest of the batter

Method(filling)

• Boil your peeled potatoes until soften
• Mash it with fork
• Add in the melted butter and milk
• Use the hand blender to blend until the texture becomes creamy
• Mix in the bacon bits and dried parsley
• Season with pepper and salt to taste

Assembling

• Spread some mashed potatoes in your crepe
• Fold it into half and fold it one more time, until it becomes a quarter size.
• Drizzle it melted sour cream
• Garnish with more bacon bits and chives.
