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

Peel 350 g potatoes and rinse.

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.
