Answer 2

The potato cakes I like the most are called Potato Latkes (fritters)
I think it originated from Russian Jews
you need:-
4 Large potatoes grated (raw) 2 beaten eggs
4 level tablespoons self raising flour l level teaspoon salt
pinch of white pepper.

Grate potatoes finely to a pulp and leave in sieve to drain for 10 minutes (or put in clean tea towel and squeeze out moisture)
put in a bowl and add remaining ingredients and mix together
Use a heavy large frying pan put enough oil to a depth of half inch, when it is hot put a tablespoon of the mixture into the oil and flatten with the back of the spoon. Cook over a moderate heat on each side until a rich brown. Drain on kitchen roll tissue and serve at once, with meat, fish or veg dishes.

Give them a go there great

Answer 5

This is my favourite:

Cold mashed potato, mixed with fried onion and plain flour. Season. Mix thoroughly and shape into cakes (being male I like BIG ones:)). For a special treat you can sneak a small lump of grated cheese in the middle.

Fry in your favourite oil until brown on both sides.

Dead simple - dead tasty. Enjoy.

Answer 6

Take cold left over mash potatoes, add 2 eggs and 1 tablespoon diced onions mix well. Make into patties. Fry in skillet with hot oil until golden brown.

Answer 7

If you have leftover mashed potatoes (cold works best), add a little chopped onion and some flour to make stiff. We like to coat them with some bread crumbs...but flour will also work, then fry in some oil until browned on each side. Good Luck !!!

Happy Thanksgiving !!!
