These grated potato cakes (similar to hash browns, but without the onion) can be deep or pan fried. They are excellent with meat, but quite delicious on their own. Children love them.

Step by step recipe


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

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

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

Stage 4 - 2 min.
Grated potato cakes : Stage 4

Mix well.

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

Stage 8 - 10 min.
Grated potato cakes : Stage 8
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 : Stage 9
Fry the potato cakes...

Stage 10
Grated potato cakes : Stage 10

Stage 12
Grated potato cakes : Stage 12
...directly in the pan.

Stage 13

Fry until browned on both sides.
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.

Macarons (the original French macaroons)
This recipe really is "of the moment": the success of these small, highly-coloured cakes, in an infinite variety of flavours, is impressive. It's a recipe which needs some care, in order to produce a result worthy of a professional pastrychef. No problem, I will guide you through the recipe, particularly the tricky parts. This variety of flavours means that I test many alternatives, so don't be surprised if in the pictures the colour of the macarons changes, I used the best photograph available...
