Aartappelkoekies
Ek weet ek het al voorheen hierdie resep met julle gedeel, maar jy kan nie te veel daarvan eet nie. Ek het besluit om hierdie resep weer te deel omdat ek dit bietjie aangepas het oor die laasste jare. Die geheim is om bestandele te gebruik waarvan jou familie baie hou.
Bestandele:
4 aartappels (gekoop en fyn gedruk)
‘n Knippie sout
‘n Knippie gerookte paprika, gee ‘n heerlike geur
Teelepel fyn gerasperde ui
Groot hand vol gerasperde kaas (cheddar, mozzarella, of dalk bloukaas)
Gesnyde salami of gebraaide spek in stukkies gesny
1 eier
1 eetlepel meel (nie te veel nie)
Meng al die bestandele baie goed saam. Die beslag sal soos kapokaartappel lyk, nie te slap nie. Gebruik ‘n eetlepel om lepelsvol in die pan te sit. My pan vat 4 koekies gemaklik. Ek gebruik glad nie olie om in te braai nie, sommer net my “non stick” pan. Dit werk heerlik.
Los hulle in die pan aan een kant vir ‘n paar minute. Wanneer die koekie los is, draai dit om en braai bruin aan die ander kant. Hulle sal heerlik bruin gebraai wees. Bedien warm op.
Probeer gerus hierdie heerlike koekies en laat ons weet hoe dit gegaan het. Het jou familie daarvan gehou en wat is julle gunsteling bestandele?
Potato Cakes
I know I have shared this potato cake recipe with you before, but I just felt I had to update it a bit. I found that the egg binds it very well and the amount of flour needed is not much. You can also add anything you like to it. I have experimented with many different flavours but found what my family love. That is the trick. Stick with what your family loves…
Ingredients:
4 potatoes (cook well and then mash)
A pinch of salt
A pinch of smoked paprika, beautiful flavour
Teaspoon of grated onion (very fine)
Large hand full of cheese (cheddar, mozzarella, why not try blue cheese?)
Sliced salami or fried and finely chopped bacon
1 egg
1 tablespoon of flour (not too full)
Mix all the ingredients very well together. It will be like a soft mash consistency.. Use a tablespoon and spoon them into the pan. I can fit 4 at a time and do not use any oil in the pan. Just use a non stick pan, it works wonderful.
Leave them in the pan for a few minutes. Make sure you wait until the potato cake is not stuck to the pan anymore before you turn them over. They will be nice and brown on one side. Leave in the pan until brown on the other side as well before you remove them. Serve warm.
Please try these wonderful cakes and let us know how yours came out. What did you add that was special to you? What is your family’s favourite?
