Ingredients
Cheesy Potato Cakes
- Ingredients
- 500 grams starchy potatoes
- salt
- 8 Leeks
- 1 egg
- 120 grams Pastry flour
- 20 grams cornstarch
- 1 Tbsp grated Hard cheese (such as Bergkäse)
- freshly ground peppers
- Nutmeg
- 2 Tbsps vegetable oil
- 2 Tbsps butter
Peel, rinse and cook the potatoes for 25-30 minutes in boiling salted water. Drain the potatoes, let cool slightly and press through a potato ricer while still hot. Leave the mashed potatoes to cool down completely.
Rinse the chives, shake dry and cut into small rings. Mix the cooled mashed potatoes with the egg, flour, cornstarch, chives and grated cheese, and season with salt, pepper and a dash of nutmeg.
Heat a little oil and butter in a frying pan and place one tablespoon of the potato mixture into it. Slightly flatten and cook from both sides until golden brown. Take the finished potato cakes from the pan and drain on kitchen paper. Cook more potato cakes in the same way until all the mixture has been used up. Serve in small bowls or a plate.
