Ingredients

  • 1 lb potatoes, peeled and cut into chunks
  • 2 cups finely grated cabbage
  • 1 carrot, finely grated
  • ½ cup onion, grated*
  • 1 teaspoon prepared mustard
  • ½ cup grated old cheddar cheese
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • ½ teaspoon pepper
  • vegetable oil for frying
  • SERVING – sour cream and sliced green onion

Instructions

  • Put potatoes in saucepan, cover with cold water and bring to a boil. Reduce heat to medium, put lid on and cook until soft, 10-12 minutes. Drain well and mash. Transfer to a large bowl. Refrigerate until ready to use.
  • Put grated cabbage and carrot in a saucepan. Add just enough water to cover the bottom of the pan, bring to a boil. Reduce heat to medium, put lid on and cook until soft, 5-7 minutes. Drain well and let cool. Add to potatoes.
  • Add all remaining ingredients to potato mixture and stir.
  • Line a baking sheet with waxed paper. Using a metal portion scoop measure mixture onto baking sheet. A scoop that holds 2 tablespoons will make 32 patties.
  • Heat oil in large frying pan on medium-high heat. Fry potato cakes until well browned, about 3 minutes per side. Add more oil as needed.
  • Top with sour cream and green onions. Serve.

Notes

*Grated onion is essential as finely chopped onion doesn’t have time to cook fully.
