Step by step recipe

Stage 1 - ⌛ 10 min.

Peel 350 g potatoes and rinse.

Stage 2 - ⌛ 5 min.

Grate the potatoes fairly coarsly.

Stage 3 - ⌛ 2 min.

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.

Tip the potatoes into a bowl, salt and pepper, then add 1 egg.

Stage 6 - ⌛ 1 min.

Mix well.

Stage 7 - ⌛ 2 min.

Add 1 tablespoon flour and mix again.

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.

Stage 9 - ⌛ 5 min.

Fry the potato cakes...

Stage 10

...until golden brown all over.

Stage 11

They can also be pan fried: place the dessert ring in the oiled pan and shape the 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.
