Potato cake

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Potato cakes may refer to different preparations of potatoes. In the U.S., the term commonly refers to a patty of hashed potatoes, a kind of hash brown. These are available pre-made and frozen in supermarkets and are sold by Arby's restaurants. In Australia, potato cakes (which are more correctly known as potato scallops), are very common in fish and chip shops. This variant is normally a thick slice of potato, dipped in batter and fried, with no additional flavouring added except salt. More rarely, the term may refer to a preparation of sliced potatoes baked in the form of a cake[1] or an actual cake made using potatoes or potato flour.[2]
