Potato Cakes

Method

Potato Cakes

  1. 1

    Prepare the Potatoes

    Peel and chop the russet potatoes into large chunks. Boil them in salted water until fork-tender, about 15-20 minutes. Drain and let cool.

  2. 2

    Make Potato Mixture

    Once cooled, mash the potatoes in a large bowl. Add the egg, all-purpose flour, chopped green onions, salt, and black pepper. Mix until combined.

  3. 3

    Form Cakes

    Shape the potato mixture into round cakes, about 1 inch thick. Place them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.

  4. 4

    Fry the Cakes

    Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Fry the potato cakes until crispy and golden brown on both sides, approximately 4-5 minutes per side. Remove and drain on paper towels.

Marinated Cabbage Salad

  1. 5

    Prepare the Cabbage

    In a large bowl, combine the sliced cabbage and grated carrots.

  2. 6

    Make Marinade

    In a separate bowl, whisk together the rice vinegar, sugar, salt, and sesame oil until the sugar dissolves.

  3. 7

    Combine and Marinate

    Pour the marinade over the cabbage and carrots. Toss well to combine. Let it sit for at least 30 minutes to marinate.

Optional Crab Cakes

  1. 8

    Prepare the Crab Mixture

    In a bowl, combine the cooked crab meat, breadcrumbs, mayonnaise, egg, Old Bay seasoning, and salt. Mix gently to combine.

  2. 9

    Form Crab Cakes

    Shape the crab mixture into patties, about 2 inches wide.

  3. 10

    Fry the Crab Cakes

    Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Fry the crab cakes until golden brown, approximately 3-4 minutes per side. Remove and drain on paper towels.
