Method

To make a slaw, in a large bowl toss together the cabbage, carrot, apple and half of the chives until combined. In a small bowl, whisk together the mustard, vinegar and olive oil. Drizzle over the vegetables, tossing to combine. Cover and chill until needed.
To make the latke mixture, mix the grated parsnips, potato and onion in a large bowl. Add the herbs, season and mix in the cornflour. Roughly divide the mixture into 4 mounds.
Heat 1cm of oil in a deep-sided frying pan over medium heat, then shallow fry 2 heaps of the mixture at a time. Cook for 3-5 mins on each side, until dark golden brown all over and crisp. Drain on a plate lined with kitchen roll and keep warm in a low oven if you’d like while you cook the rest of the latkes.
Once the latkes have been made, fry the eggs until the whites have just set and the yolks are still runny.
To serve, stir the slaw and divide between 2 plates. Spread the latkes with apple sauce, stack 2 on each plate and top with a fried egg.
