I always love the time of year between Thanksgiving and Christmas. Most of the family visit and we do some fun activities. As a child I remember my mom making my grandmothers recipe for piping hot potato cakes for my sister Wendy and I dripping with butter and just the right amount of salt.
While my mom and dad were visiting they made Kelly, Aimee and I the same wonderful treat. We gorged ourselves on a mound of potato cakes and it was worth every calorie.
Potato Cakes
4oz self raising flour
1 pound cold mash potatoes
2oz butter
1 tsp salt
1 egg yolk
Mix all ingredients together.
Beat until a firm ball is formed.
Roll out 1/2" thick and cut into round cakes.
Place on floured board before cooking on a hot plate. Brown on both sides.
Serve warm with butter.
Cherish special times with family and friends

POTATO CAKES I THOUGHT MY MOM WAS THE ONLY ONE WHO MADE THEM. SHE USES LEFTOVER MASHED POTATOES WHEN SHE MAKES HERS BUT I SOMRTIMES FIND MYSELF MAKING POT JUST SO I CAN MAKE THE POT. CAKES.

Sharing your life with those you love and love you. What more could one need or want?
ReplyDeleteOh gosh and golly, thanks for the trip down memory lane, my mom and grandmother used to make potato pancakes all the time, (I do too, but not as often), must be an Ohio thing, as I grew up in Strasburg, OHio
