Stage 8 - ⌛ 10 min.
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.

How to grill salmon well
This is not as simple as it might at first appear. A properly grilled piece of salmon should be crisp on the outside and moist on the inside. This soft interior is achieved by very strict timing (cooking fish just right is a sign of a true chef), as undercooked it is unpleasant, and overcooked the salmon dries out.
