Ingredients
4eggs
4heaping tablespoons of chickpea flour
3tablespoonsof sparkling water
1pinchof salt
freshly ground black pepper
For the filling:
extra virgin olive oil
rosemary
4medium potatoes
salt
freshly ground pepper
200gsmoked bacon, diced
Instructions
Break the eggs into a bowl and beat them with a whisk. Add 4 heaping tablespoons of chickpea flour, a pinch of salt and freshly ground black pepper, then whisk in 3 tablespoons of sparkling water and beat until the batter is smooth and without lumps. Let the batter rest for half an hour.
Meanwhile, rinse and peel the potatoes, then cut them into cubes and boil in salted water until they are cooked through. Drain them.
In a pan heat a few tablespoons of extra virgin olive oil and a sprig of rosemary, so that it will slowly release the essential oils. Add the potatoes previously drained, grind black pepper on top and stir so that the potatoes are well seasoned, crushing them with a wooden spoon to mix all the flavours. Let them cook for 5 minutes, stirring constantly, and put them aside.
In another frying pan cook the diced bacon with a sprig of rosemary over a high flame for 5 minutes, so that it becomes crispy. Drain the bacon from the fat and place it on a sheet of kitchen paper.
Now it's time to cook the crepes: brush a 15 cm large non-stick pan with extra virgin olive oil, heat it, pour in a small ladle of batter and roll the pan so the batter spreads evenly.
Cook the crepe on one side for about 1 minute, then flip it with a flat spatula or with a nimble wrist movement and cook it for another minute, then remove from the pan and make a stack of crepes on a warm plate.
Now start the party, filling every chickpea crepe with a generous tablespoon of rosemary potatoes, crispy bacon crumbs and freshly ground black pepper.

Notes
You can also make a vegetarian version: just replace the bacon with sun dried tomatoes previously soaked in water and white wine vinegar, chopped thinly and scattered over the potatoes.. just as good!.
