Method

  1. Halve the potatoes. Simmer in salted water for 12-15 minutes. Drain and set aside.
  2. Heat the oil in a wok. Add the potatoes and fry them for 4-5 minutes over a high heat until browned and crispy. Remove from the pan and set aside.
  3. Tip the spring onions and bacon into the pan and stir and sizzle for 3-4 minutes or until the bacon gets crispy. Meanwhile, season the flour with paprika, a little salt and plenty of black pepper, then use to coat the liver.
  4. Stir the liver into the pan and cook for 2-3 minutes. Toss in the potatoes and quickly reheat. Stir in the chopped parsley, remove everything from the pan and divide between 2 plates. Keep warm.
  5. Quickly pour the hot stock into the pan and scrape all the crispy bits up from the bottom. Bubble for 1-2 minutes, then pour around the liver and potatoes. Serve each portion topped with soured cream and a sprinkling of paprika.

    Very, very tasty indeed. This would be a perfect dish for people who are a little afraid of liver. All the ingredients come together beautifully.

    I don't like liver usually, but it tastes great in this recipe. We live in Greece & always have a large pot of Greek Yogurt in the fridge, so I substitute this for the soured cream & it works really well.

    I did it for my husband who is great lover of liver. But I also enjoyed it. Preparing it, it's a bit complicated but it's very tasty!

    If you do not like liver just substitute with Pork Fillet, delicious.

    Very very very tasty. I did add mushrooms. The stock at the end didn't thicken, so I added a knob of butter to thicken and gloss. Also I put a couple of spoonfuls of double cream at the end instead os sour cream. All in all for someone who hates liver, I have to say it was very enjoyable and I will do it again.

    When I picked up the liver in the supermarket my parter pulled a face and said ew I dont like liver.... I told him I knew a recipe I tried and tested before we met, he would find yummy and he agreed to give it a go (he loves my cooking anyway). I served this dish (without telling him what was in it) and he said it was really delicious and wanted more.... he was gobsmacked when I said it was the liver. He's so impressed he keeps inviting his friends round to dinner and asking me to cook it!! What a turnaround..... thanks Good Food :-)

    Husband and I loved this, especially liver loving hubby. We both agreed that instead of spring onions we would use a red or white onion. Our spring onions seemed to vanish unlike the photo above. Perhaps if we added the spring onion later it would be better. To sum it up, lovely supper.

    I made this for the first time last night for my wife and I. We both thought it was superb. Our only criticism - we wanted more. Next time I intend to increase the quantities by 50% and turn it into a main meal. I found the potatoes took about 9 minutes to brown and crisp up. I also used a Knorr Vegetable Stock Pot in 200ml to make the bouillon. Because the stock is quite salty I didn't add any salt to the flour and paprika mix.

    I made this recipe today at lunch time. I was looking for a different way to cook liver and this one is a really tasty one! It is easy to cook, with a great flavour and the cold soured cream gives a fresh taste to it! Well done!!

    Takes a bit of time to prepare with the frying of all the different ingredients, but well worth it and very economical on the shoping budget. You need to have you pan very hot right at the end to reduce the stock down to a sauce, otherwise the food will go cold before you pour over the sauce.

    Delicious, I used cooking onions as I already had some and I added tomato puree to the stock which made the sauce a bit thicker. I also chucked in some muchrooms.....get that down ya!

    Really tasty and we both enjoyed this although we like liver anyway! Served it with some steamed broccoli. I used more liver than suggested but probably won't bother next time as it is quite filling but I will make the effort to buy some thick cut bacon as I think it will add to the flavour. Also used 'old' potatoes cut up quite small.

    Cooked this without the bacon and used half fat creme fraiche instead of soured cream. It is a quick, really really tasty and satisfying dish. Next time will make it with some brocolli or curly kale on the side to give it a bit more balance of veggie. Definately going to make again.

    I really liked this but sadly it didn't convert the liver haters of the family.
