The Recipes - The Dab Barm cake

This a traditional Lancashire thing. A Dab in Lancashire is a thinly sliced, about 4-5mm wide, piece of a large potato. This is then dried on a tea towel or kitchen roll, and then dipped in batter mix and deep fried until golden. It's a chip shop thing!
We like this one served on a buttered Barm cake, with a piece of iceberg lettuce, a slice of onion and a dollop of mayonnaise. Be sure to splash on a little more vinegar and salt when you put it on the bread. Currently we are working on a tasty chip shop style batter mix to fry them in at home. We will be sure to keep you updated on how this works out.

In the meantime here is the recipe.
