Stage 2 - 5 min.
Grated potato cakes

Stage 3 - 2 min.

Stage 7 - 2 min.

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.

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.
