Notes
For boiling potatoes – Boil them until they are soft( at least 20 minutes or more in a pot of boiling water) and you can easily pierce a knife across them. If using an instant pot, boil them on high pressure for 10 minutes, release pressure after 5 minutes. Again, this will depend on the size of the potatoes.
This recipe of potato cakes is different from the homemade hashbrowns recipe as we have completely boiled the potatoes here, while in the hashbrown, we partially boil the potatoes.
Variations
If you like your meal spicy, you may coat them in peri peri. You can also brush any spice mix + 1tbsp oil to give it a new flavor like Moroccan, Sriracha or Cajun.
