Recipe: Potato cakes


I was not a fan of potatoes, not until I’ve come to the Netherlands and eaten different types of potato varieties. Most of them are so good even if you just boil them. When my husband brought back home many bags of potatoes, I was dumbfounded – ‘what in the world am I going to do with them?’


Hence, I experienced many ways to cook them. So far, potato cakes is my most favorite of all. To make them more flavorful, put salami or any sliced meats in the potato mixture ;)





Potato cakes

Ingredients

500 g leftover mashed potatoes (or boil the potatoes, mashed it, mix with milk, butter, salt and pepper and leave it overnight)
200 g shredded cheese
1 onion, sliced
2 garlic cloves, sliced
1 egg
3 tablespoons flour (Type 550)
A bunch of parsley or coriander, roughly chopped
Cooking oil for frying

Method

1. Combine mashed potatoes, cheese, onion, garlic, egg, flour and fresh herbs in a large bowl and mix.
2. Using your hands, divide the mixture into several small portions. Roll each portion into a compact ball then flatten it into a pancake about a 1 cm thick.
3. Heat 3 to 4 tablespoons of oil in a large pan on a medium heat. Fry the pancakes, in batches, until they are golden brown and crispy on both sides, 3 to 4 minutes.
4. Transfer the potato cakes on kitchen paper and serve with your favorite sauce.
