Potato Cakes
Method
Preparation
Prepare the Potatoes
Peel and cube the russet potatoes. Boil in salted water until tender, about 15-20 minutes. Drain and let cool slightly.
Mash the Potatoes
In a large bowl, mash the cooled potatoes until smooth. Add the smoked tallow, egg, flour, salt, black pepper, and paprika. Mix until well combined.
Shape the Cakes
Fold in the chopped green onions. Form the potato mixture into patties or cakes, about 3 inches in diameter.
Cook the Cakes
In a skillet over medium heat, add some additional smoked tallow. Cook the potato cakes for about 4-5 minutes on each side or until golden brown and crispy.
Serve
Serve hot with a drizzle of three pepper sauce on top or on the side.
