Step by step recipe


Stage 1 - 10 min.
Grated potato cakes
Peel 350 g potatoes and rinse.

Stage 2 - 5 min.
Grated potato cakes
Grate the potatoes fairly coarsly.

Stage 3 - 2 min.
Grated potato cakes
Transfer the grated potatoes to colander or strainer and rinse thoroughly (the water running through the potatoes should be clear).

Drain thoroughly.

Stage 4 - 2 min.

Dry the potatoes on a tea towel.

Stage 5 - 2 min.

Mix well.

Stage 7 - 2 min.
Grated potato cakes
Add 1 tablespoon flour and mix again.

Stage 8 - 10 min.
Grated potato cakes
Shape the potato cakes to the size you prefer, but do not pack them too tightly.

It is best to use a dessert ring about 8 cm (3 inches) in diameter to keep the cake neat and round.

I advise you to make all the cakes on a baking sheet and to freeze uncooked any you will not be using immediately.

Stage 9 - 5 min.
Grated potato cakes
Fry the potato cakes...

Stage 10

Stage 12

...directly in the pan.

Stage 13

Remarks
It is really important to rinse the potatoes thoroughly after grating to remove the starch which would otherwise make the cakes stick during cooking.
Keeping: Should be eaten straight after cooking.

Crème brûlée (burned cream) is quite easy to prepare: it's a simple egg-cream dessert. The only difficulty is in making the delicious crunchy caramel layer on top. The perfect crème brulée (for me) is a cold and soft cream, with on top a nice hot caramel crust. This is a completely new version...
