Recipe: Appetizing Potato cakes

Recipe: Appetizing Potato cakes Delicious, fresh and tasty.

Potato cakes. I reserved a little of flour mixture to coat outside of cake. I found putting butter on my hands greatly helped to form cakes and keep them from sticking to my hands. Melt butter in a large frying pan over a low heat.

Add the potato cakes to the pan and reduce the heat to medium-low.

Mix the beaten egg with the mashed potatoes.

Add the milk and mix well.

You can have Potato cakes using 7 ingredients and 6 steps. Here is how you cook that.

Ingredients of Potato cakes

4. You need of Flour.

5. It’s of Bread crumbs.

6. Prepare of Oil for frying.

7. Prepare of Bacon crumbles, Green onion chopped, all extra optionals(little broccoli).

The batter should be very thick.

Simply boil a few potatoes and mash them with a small piece of butter (I use this potato ricer) adding a pinch of salt and ground black pepper, or use leftover mashed potato if you have any.

If using boiled potatoes, make sure that you chill.

The best way to use up leftover mashed potatoes for breakfast or side dish!

Potato cakes step by step

1. Heat oil in frying pan.

2. Add in any extras at this time to the mashed potatoes, before forming into patties. (no need to add anything extra if you don’t have it.)Take cold mashed potatoes and shape them like hamburger patties..

3. Take 2 eggs and beat them.

4. Take potato patties and coat in flour, then eggs, then bread crumbs and fry until golden brown. When frying don’t forget to flip them. (if they fall apart a few of mine did, when coating them no big deal just reshape them in the bread crumbs that’s what I did.).

5. Drain on wire rack or paper towels before severing.

6. Notes- use a spatula, when placing in oil. I used my hands and just picked them up and one fell apart, my 2nd batch I placed in with a spatula.

One of our favorite side dishes is creamy mashed potatoes.

Sometimes we make them with brown butter.

Sometimes with spinach (just trust me on this one).

And other time with sweet potatoes.

Start with a couple tablespoons and work up if needed.
