Instructions

  1. Peel the potatoes and boil them in salted water for 20 minutes, until a knife slides through them easily.
  2. Drain them and mash them finely with the butter.
  3. Gradually add the warm milk, then the beaten egg, salt and pepper.
  4. Work in the sifted flour until you have a soft dough that isn't sticky.
  5. Shape into cakes about 1 cm thick and 8 cm across.
  6. Brown them for 3 to 4 minutes per side in a buttered pan over medium heat.

Variations and tips

Herb version. Add a handful of chopped parsley and a little chives to the dough.

For children. Shape into small cakes and serve with sugar and butter rather than salt.
