Potato cakes in a frying pan

Step-by-step preparation

Cooking time: 1 hr

1. STEP 1

   

   How to fry potato cakes in a frying pan? Prepare all the necessary ingredients. The basis of this dish is mashed potatoes. Wash the potatoes with a brush, peel, rinse and boil in salted water until tender. This takes about 20-25 minutes - depends on the size of the tubers. Drain all the water, add butter and mash the potatoes. Transfer the puree to a bowl. Taste it for salt; if it is not enough, add more salt.

2. STEP 2

   

   Beat eggs into a bowl with slightly cooled mashed potatoes and add grated hard cheese. It is better to use homemade eggs, then the dough will acquire a rich yellow color, and the finished dish will be more tasty. Before using, eggs must be washed with soda, as there may be harmful bacteria on their surface.

3. STEP 3

   

   Mix everything well with a spoon or fork. You should get a viscous mass.

4. STEP 4

   

   Next, add the flour sifted through a sieve.

5. STEP 5

   

   Knead the dough. You may need less or more flour, as flour varies. Be aware that the dough must have a suitable consistency so that it can be made into balls. It should not stick to your hands, but it should not be too mealy.

6. STEP 6

   

   The resulting dough will make four small cakes, so visually divide it into 4 parts and roll each into a bun.

7. STEP 7

   

   Pour vegetable oil into the frying pan and let it warm up. Next, take a ball of dough, transfer it to the frying pan and use a spoon to knead it into a flat cake - do not make the flat cake too thin, it should turn out fluffy. Fry the workpiece on one side over moderate heat for 4-5 minutes until browned.

8. STEP 8

   

   Turn the tortilla over to the other side and fry for the same time. Remove the finished flatbread from the pan and fry the remaining three pieces. Serve these mashed potato flatbreads with cheese hot for main courses or eat them as is. Bon appetit!

These flatbreads are the same pancakes with cheese, but larger. Consolidation!

It seemed to me that I had already tried to make any kind of dough, but potato dough was something new! I boiled the potatoes, but did not measure their quantity (but in vain, for the first time it would have been easier to navigate when adding flour and kneading the dough). The dough turned out to be very viscous and did not look like dough at all for a long time; when working with it, you had to use a scraper and wet your hands in cold water to form balls. Now I understand that I should have simply not been afraid to add more flour or generously sprinkle it on the work surface and the cake preparations. My flatbreads turned out very tender and soft inside. Of course, these are very tasty, both I and my family liked them, but I think that the additional amount of flour, even if it made the structure of the finished cakes coarser, would not affect their taste in any way, but would greatly simplify the cooking process. I was pleased with the flatbreads and made some useful conclusions about the potato dough. I’ll have to learn how to make this kind of dough in the future, because both my husband and children (and myself, naturally) liked it. Thanks for the recipe!

A wonderful and fairly simple recipe. My daughter is sick, but I want to please the child with baked goods. Thank you. p.s. This is not the first time I have prepared recipes from this resource. Of course, there were mistakes, but 99% of them were due to my mistakes. I was distracted by my daughter, then by the TV, etc.)
