8 Clonakilty Rashers

8 pieces of Clonakilty Blackpudding

8 pieces of Clonakilty Whitepudding

4 free range eggs (fried or poached)

2 tomatoes (halved)

Method

1. Place a medium sized pan over a medium heat.

2. Take your mashed potato and add in the butter (if not already added), the seasoning, and the flour.

3. Gently kneed and roll into a ball.

4. Sprinkle some flour onto a bench and roll out the dough into a circle about 3/4cm thick.

5. Score into four, lift into the pan and cook for 4 to 5 minutes on each side.

6. Allow to cool on a rack.

7. Pan fry in a little butter or oil and serve.

8. Serve as part of a traditional Clonakilty fry up.
