For 4 serving

Ingredients

4 medium potatoes
3 eggs
2 handfuls of grated cheese (e.g., Edam, Gouda or Cheddar)

Preparation procedure

Preparing the potatoes Peel the potatoes and cook until soft. Then mash them into a smooth purée and let cool for a while.
Dough Stir the eggs and grated cheese into the mashed potatoes. You will get a pliable dough that can be easily shaped.
Shaping and cooking Form smaller patties from the dough. Fry them in a pan with a little oil or lard until golden, or cook them dry in a non-stick pan, or bake them in the oven on baking paper.
Serving Serve the finished patties while still warm – on their own with a yogurt or sour cream dip, as a side to meat, or with a fresh vegetable salad.
