Gratered Cakes.

As many of you will have gathered by now, jackbit is never far from my mind.
How many of you ate, or remember, ‘gratered cakes’?
They were a tasty, and much loved form of sustenance when I was a lad . . .

Coarsely grate peeled raw potatoes (I mean use the coarsest side of the grater, not perform the operation in a vulgar manner), and then fold the result in a tea towel or kitchen roll, to squeeze the excess moisture out.
Mix with grated onion, and then add flour, beaten egg, and perhaps a drop of milk, to form a thick batter (grated cheese can also be added).
Season the mix well, and fry dollops of it in a hot pan, browning both sides.
You end up  with something like a rosti, only a damn sight tastier.

Now, wheer’s mi fryin’ pon an’  grater?

Me mouths watering..it sounds delish,

The Germans ruin them by putting sugar all over them

Haven't made them for some time, maybe for tea today

Wow, we never had them but they sound delicious, as our Mo says. I WILL be making them exactly your way.

I have made them as dry cakes by squeezing the water out of the potatoes and adding seasoning as Rosti.

I'll let you know...............

Sorry I can't be more specific as to weights and quantities Admin, but it's one of those recipes where I don't measure anything - I just know when it's right!

When we do these, its almost exactly the same way, but with the addition of red paprika and mushrooms.
