How To Make Potato Cakes/Scallops?

Question

Hello!!

Does anyone know how to make potato scallops/cakes. i lived in Australia for a couple of years and now i live back in the UK, i miss them, i'd usually have 6 at a time. i've looked on the internet and they reckon slices of potato covered in batter, but they were never crunchy or hard, the potato was soft

How do you make them?

I forgot to say... I mean them with batter on, they are only thin but largish circular, was a nice batter, not inches thick or anything with soft potato in (the best ones were in tasmania with the other nice ones in cairns central)

Answer 4

Kernow Lady, the item known as a scallop is a slice of potato that is battered and then fried. I am not in London, but know of several fish and chip shops in Lincoln that sell them.

Answer 5

to ensure the potatoes are soft drop them in boiling water for a few minutes and then cool before dipping in the batter...

ensure the oil or fat is moderately hot to ensure the batter becomes crispy..
