Ingredients
- 3 medium potatoes, peeled and boiled
- 6 tbsp potato starch
- Cooking oil (for shaping and pan-frying)
- ¼ tsp salt
- 2 tbsp sugar
- 5 tbsp honey
- Sliced almonds (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
- Boil & Mash Potatoes: Boil the potatoes until tender. While still warm, mash thoroughly until smooth.
- Season & Mix: Add salt and sugar to the mashed potatoes. Mix well to incorporate.
- Form the Dough: Add potato starch and mix until fully blended and no powder remains. The dough should resemble soft chestnut paste.
- Shape Cakes: Lightly oil your hands. Scoop about 1 spoonful of dough and shape into small round patties. Flatten gently.
- Pan-Fry: Heat a non-stick pan over low heat and coat lightly with oil. Place the patties in the pan and cook slowly on both sides until golden brown and crisp.
- Glaze with Honey: Turn off the heat. While the cakes are still hot in the pan, drizzle honey over them and top with sliced almonds if using. Let the honey warm for about 15 seconds, then remove from the pan.
- Serve Warm: Enjoy the cakes immediately for the best texture—crispy edges with a soft, chewy center.
