How to cook it

If you are preparing Potato cake for the first time, you need to know the main secrets of its preparation:

As a base for the cake, you can use any cookies, leftover biscuit, or the most common crackers. The base must be crushed into fine crumbs using a coffee grinder, blender, or masher;
All ingredients must be at room temperature - only then can you mix them into a homogeneous mass;
The amount of sugar depends on the cake base. If these are cookies or leftover cake layers, you need less sugar - the product is sweet in itself. If using breadcrumbs, add more sugar;
Cocoa is an optional ingredient. If you don't like it, you don't have to add it. In this case, the Potato cake will turn out light;
As an additive you can use raisins, chopped dried apricots, ground nuts, and even crushed marmalade - it all depends on your taste;
The “Potato” cake turns out to be oily to the touch, so it is usually rolled in the same crushed cookie or biscuit base, but there are no clear rules here. The shell can be anything. Chopped nuts will also work, or coconut flakes- focus only on your taste. If desired, the cake can be decorated

Next, melt a bar of dark chocolate in a bowl over a water bath. To do this, pour hot water into a saucepan, place a bowl of broken chocolate in the water and put it on the fire so that the water constantly boils.

Potato cake - chefs recommend

Spicy, unique taste A drop of alcohol gives “potatoes”. Add rum, liqueur or cognac to the cake. But! If you are cooking for children, then exclude alcohol-containing ingredients.

If a purchased “potato” sponge cake is dark in color, with the addition of cocoa or chocolate, then the manufacturer probably tried to disguise bad quality test. According to GOST, the inside of the “potato” cake should be without coloring.

You can add raisins, candied fruits and any nuts to the dessert dough. The tasty “potatoes” are also decorated chocolate icing. Or add food coloring to the buttercream that is left for decoration.

Fast food is not always unhealthy dish. If you approach the cooking process and selection of ingredients for a dish from the perspective proper nutrition, then you can make fast food even healthy.

“Kroshka-potatoes” is a dish that I prepare if I know that we will have a large company of guests. The beauty of this dish is that the potatoes can be baked in portions and the toppings can be served separately. Each guest will choose the filling themselves or try everything.

Here are my favorite toppings for Crumb Potatoes:

crab sticks, cheese, mayonnaise (yogurt)
ham, Parmesan or Grana Padano cheese, mayonnaise, parsley
Tartar sauce with pickles

It is with these fillings that we will prepare our Baby Potatoes today.

We will prepare all the products according to the list. For fillings you can take your own products. It is better to take potatoes of the same size so that they cook at the same time; the potato tubers should be large. We will prepare Baby Potatoes at the rate of one potato tuber per serving.

Wash the potatoes well, wipe dry and make punctures with a fork on the surface of the potato peel. Wrap each potato tuber in foil and place on a baking sheet. Place the potatoes in an oven preheated to 180 degrees C for 60 minutes.

IMPORTANT: during a summer picnic you can bake potatoes over a fire.

While the potatoes are baking, prepare the toppings.

FILLING 1

Cut the ham into small cubes. Place the ham in a bowl.

Grate Parmesan cheese or Grana Padano (sharp cheeses) on a fine grater and add to the ham.

We also put finely chopped parsley in a bowl, season the ingredients with mayonnaise or sour cream, salt and pepper the filling to taste.

Mix everything well, the filling is ready.

FILLING 2

Cut crab sticks or crab meat into small cubes. Place crab meat in a bowl.

Grate hard cheese like Gouda on a medium grater. Add cheese to crab sticks.

Season the filling with mayonnaise or yogurt, salt and pepper the filling to taste.

Mix all ingredients well. The filling is ready.

FILLING 3

As a filling, you can use different sauces, such as “Tartar”; you can buy them ready-made in the store.

I make Tartar sauce with pickled cucumbers.

We check the readiness of the potatoes by piercing the tuber with a knife or fork. Take the potatoes out of the oven. We make cross-shaped cuts on the surface of the potato and, as it were, open it. Lightly mash the potato pulp with a fork.
