Ingredients
- 0.5 Pounds (lb) potatoes, peeled
- 1.5 Cups buttermilk
- 0.5 Pounds (lb) potatoes, grated
- 1.75 Cups all-purpose flour
- 1 Teaspoon (tsp) baking soda
- 1 Pinch salt, to taste
- 1 Pinch ground black pepper, to taste
- 2 Tablespoons (tbsp) butter
Steps
- Preheat your oven to 450°F (230°C). Scrub the unpeeled potatoes and prick them several times with a fork. Place them onto a baking sheet.
- Bake the potatoes in the preheated oven until they are easily pierced with a fork, about 50 minutes to 1 hour. Remove from the oven, allow to cool, then peel and mash the potatoes with the buttermilk.
- Stir in the grated raw potato, flour, baking soda, salt, and pepper into the mashed potato mixture.
- Melt the butter in a large skillet or griddle over medium heat. Scoop the potato mixture into the skillet to form 3-inch cakes.
- Fry the cakes until they are golden and crisp, turning once, about 5 minutes per side. Serve warm.
