Ingredients
These potato cakes smell delightful while cooking. They also look similar to biscuits with their golden brown coloring. The potato cakes are baked, instead of being fried, and are non-greasy. They can be eaten at different times of the day, and with a variety of toppings. Enjoy with your favorite toppings to see what flavor combination you like the best.
Directions
Preheat the oven to 425 degrees Fahrenheit. Clean the potatoes and cut them into cubes.
Place into a large pot filled with water. Heat on high and bring to a boil for 8 minutes, and then drain the water.
Cover a baking sheet with aluminum foil. Clean the scallions and cut them into small pieces. We used a vinegar wash. Place them in a small bowl and set them to the side, while the potatoes are cooking.
Add the butter, eggs, and scallions to the pot with the cooked potatoes.
- We used Giant's brand of Sweet Cream Salted Butter (Gluten Free), and Giant's brand of Fresh Extra Large White Eggs (USDA Grade A).
While you're at it, throw in the ground peppercorns (to taste) and breadcrumbs too.
- We used the McCormick Peppercorn Medley Grinder (Non GMO), which contains a mixture of black peppercorns, coriander, pink peppercorns, white peppercorns, allspice, and green peppercorns.
- We also used Giant's brand of Plain Panko Bread Crumbs.
Mix and mash the ingredients in the pot together.
Form the potato mixture into individual potato cake patties, and place them onto the baking sheet.
Place the baking sheet into the oven to bake for 23 minutes, or until golden brown.
Once baked, remove from the oven, enjoy with a side of sour cream. Enjoy with your favorite toppings, such as garlic salt, honey mustard, barbecue sauce, apple sauce, or a fruit jam.
- We used Breakstone's All Natural Sour Cream (Triple Churned for Extra Creaminess. Grade A Pasteurized).
- We also tried ours with a sprinkle of McCormick Perfect Pinch Salad Supreme Seasoning on top (Gluten Free) for additional flavoring.
Optionally try with chopped bacon mixed into the potato mixture before baking, or with a side of eggs and sausage. We tried a variety of toppings, which included Lawry's Garlic Salt (coarse with ground parsley), different bites with honey mustard, then separately Sweet Baby Ray's Barbecue Sauce, and the sour cream mixed with Mild Capital City Mambo Sauce (Fat Free, Cholesterol Free, Low Calorie), which added a sweet and tangy flavor. The bottle of Mambo sauce describes the flavor as a sweet and savory, tomato based wing sauce; it's similar to barbecue sauce and sweet and sour sauce, with a hint of zest, which can be used as a dipping sauce, marinade, or glaze.
