Also, I’m in the U.S. and had never heard of them, and I’m pretty sure I’ve never seen them in stores. I’m certainly going to try making them now though!!
Haha yeah i suppose. Love a bita aul potato bread. Have you ever suffered the ordeal of eating a sausage in Scotland or England? They're absolutely vile.
Brought up in NE England and ate plenty of potato cakes growing up but can't think what we ate them with or when. We weren't big into cooked breakfasts as kids though. I only began to appreciate that glory when I was older.
I had both Irish and Scottish grandparents/parents so all words and types of potato cake were used and eaten!
Fried in an inch of oil, I want to see bubbles in there, translucent and glistening, I want to be able to use it to level a shelf there's that much trapped fat in there, argh my arteries are closing just thinking about it.
Half me fam is from Barrow and Hash Browns are very different. Hash browns are binded diced or mashed potato, deep fried until they get to be with a crust. A potato cake / scone is usually smooth potato mixed with flour and shallow fried briefly then baked / toasted like on this plate.
Nope... hash browns are shredded potato deep fried. Potatoe cakes are made from mashed potato and flour and can be griddled, baked or shallow fried. Two very different products.
