Potato Cake

This Potato Cake is a dish I make pretty often for my family, either for lunch or dinner. As I said in an earlier post, I will try to share with you a few simple potato recipes that everybody can easily prepare.

This potato cake is very delicious and healthy and children loves it. You can make it without onion if you prefer it better this way or add some garlic instead.  This potato cake is crispy on top and bottom while the interior remains soft.

You can make many other variations to this potato dish, you can add beaten egg like in this Spanish Tortilla de Patatas, cheese, some bacon, smoked fish or leftover cooked vegetables or whatever else you would consider will go well for this dish.  I am sure it’s delicious in any way you choose to make it.

    Growing up my mom always made potato cakes for breakfast from leftover mashed potatoes. I really like this idea! Don’t need leftovers and it looks so easy! I can think of all kinds of other ingredients that might be worth a try too! Thanks for sharing!
