Hey everyone, it is me, Dave, welcome to our recipe site. Today, I’m gonna show you how to make a special dish, potato cakes. One of my favorites. For mine, I will make it a little bit unique. This is gonna smell and look delicious.
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. Add the potato cakes to the pan and reduce the heat to medium-low.
Potato cakes is one of the most favored of recent trending foods in the world. It’s appreciated by millions daily. It’s simple, it’s fast, it tastes yummy. Potato cakes is something that I’ve loved my entire life. They’re fine and they look fantastic.
To get started with this particular recipe, we have to prepare a few components. You can have potato cakes using 7 ingredients and 6 steps. Here is how you cook it.
The ingredients needed to make Potato cakes:
- Get Leftover mashed potatoes
- Take Shredded cheese of choice
- Make ready 2 Eggs
- Take Flour
- Get Bread crumbs
- Get Oil for frying
- Make ready Bacon crumbles, Green onion chopped, all extra optionals(little broccoli)
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. Some old fashioned potato cakes use flour instead of breadcrumbs. Start with a couple Tablespoons of flour and work up if needed.
Steps to make Potato cakes:
- Heat oil in frying pan
- 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.
- Take 2 eggs and beat them
- 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.)
- Drain on wire rack or paper towels before severing
- 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
Fry up the leftover potato cake in vegetable oil or butter. Dip the back of your spoon into the oil and then press down with it onto the potato cakes to flatten them a bit. Fry until browned and then carefully flip them over and brown on the other side. This photograph is a bit shaky but that is probably because a slew of grandkids ran through the kitchen as Mama was taking it. Finely grate potatoes; drain any liquid.
