Brunch Potato Cake (Samantha)
Irish potato cake with a poached egg, smoked salmon, wilted spinach and hollandaise sauce.
Samantha: "I have made hollandaise before, but if I ruin a hollandaise sauce, my dad will kill me. On the way up here, he was like, this is how you make hollandaise. Don't forget."
Samantha: "I'm not quite sure how to cook an Irish potato cake, though, so don't tell Anna."
Samantha: "I was worried about my hollandaise splitting at the last minute, so I decided to take it off heat. But I don't think it was a disaster."
Anna: "You hadn't made potato cakes before, but the potato mix you've used is absolutely spot on. Beautifully cooked."
Grace: "Two lovely poached eggs. But your hollandaise sauce could have been cooked out just a little bit more so that it creates a much glossier, thicker sauce. It kind of runs off as opposed to sitting on top of the egg, but seasoning is very good."
Samantha did not win an apron.
