Potato patties: everyone I know doesn't know what the hell these are.
They go, "you mean potato pancakes?" NO.
Nuke a potato or two (more than two if they're red potatoes) peel them (don't really have to do that), mash them in a bowl, add 1 large egg (two if small), stir, add 2/3 cup of flour (more or less), stir, add milk and stir until batter looks like pancake batter more or less. The patties are supposed to be brown on both sides. Cook in olive oil.
Important part: eat with ketchup. It's not complete without ketchup. Can't stress enough on the ketchup.
Anyways, that's one of my favorite, "I shouldn't eat too much of this" thing.
No fudging way.
Eggs in potatoes?
Flour in potatoes?
Ketchup on potatoes?
The primitive probably gets gastric discombobulations a lot.

1. Sounds like how my Mom used to make her Potato Cakes.
She probably used closer to 1/3 cup of flour and only a couple of tablespoons of milk, if needed. She would form them into 'patties' and fry them. Sometimes she would grate a bit of onion into them Y*M!!!
We used to eat them with ketchup or a pat of butter on top.

2. My Mom would just use leftover, homemade mashed potatoes then form patties and fry them in butter. It had to be butter
Uh huh.
That's the only way to make them.

3. Yes, after Thanksgiving...and only a couple of times but that's how I remember them. They were good! Now, we don't usually HAVE leftovers.

4. Same here. Growing up, I don't remember that we ever had leftovers from a regular day meal so we rarely had these potato patties, but they were good enough to make a memory

Anyway.
You know, my fellow alum Skins has to do something about the cooking and baking forum.
The cooking and baking forum used to be the liveliest, the biggest, the most active, of the "small forums" on Skins's island, but the past couple of years it's been accumulating more cobwebs than comments.
One recalls how active it was when Mrs. Alfred Packer, the hippywife primitive, was the soul of it, but she's gone now, hippyhubby Wild Bill having ordered her to delete her account, jealous that she was paying more attention to the primitives, than to him.
One doesn't want Mrs. Alfred Packer back--oh God no--who was singularly nasty, vile, full of hate (just as the late Tangerine LaBamba had warned us nearly three years ago), not a shred of a bone of human decency in her body.
Lu, who's a nice person, has doggedly and valiantly tried to keep the forum going, but apparently being "nice" repels, rather than attracts, the other primitives.
I don't have any suggestions for Skins, but it's obvious something needs to be done.

Coach, you owe it to yourself to try a latke (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Potato_pancake) the next time you have the chance (but skip the ketchup)

They are really good with sour cream and applesauce.

I always mix in an egg. It helps hold the patties together.
I also like a little chopped onion in the mix.

Well, it's all good if you like it that way, and more power to you.
Me, I wouldn't touch such a thing with a ten-foot primitive.

When ya gonna make some? :wink:

I think they're rather bland and boring. Never got too excited about them, like those primitives up there.

Not today. Today I am making spaghetti. My wife has been requesting spaghetti for weeks.
There will be a nice salad and garlic bread too.

I love me some 'tater patties!!! 'Specially with sausage gravy over them. :drool: :drool:
All I ever use is some flour and maybe a little milk with yesterday's mashed 'taters. Fry them up in bacon grease.
Grandma would always put a cooked sausage patty in them for Dad and Granddad. I guess it was an acquired taste cause I never really cared for the sausage in them. I'd eat it though if I was hungry.

OK, you beat me here by 2 months, Carlos, but I'm the next in line to be her "bestest forum buddy"

Leftover mashed potatoes (that already have butter and sour cream in them)
a beaten egg
little bit of baking powder
little bit of milk
well diced onion
mix it all together and drop ( I use a small ladle ) onto a hot buttered skillet cook until lightly brown on both sides.
serve with homemade cinnamon apples and sour cream
Depending on what my taste buds want...I will put ketchup on them instead. They are one of the few things I will eat ketchup on.

That's it alright.

I like potato cakes for breakfast as a side to bacon. Just make a patty out of leftover potatoes and fry it in the bacon grease, then a little salt and pepper.

A purist. Good for you.
