I must thank Andromeda Godit of Cook Bake Snap and Post Facebook Group who posted this yummy snack on 8 September 2020. Even though there is no recipe on his post, I think the ingredients to make these Spicy Mashed Potato Cakes are just mashed potato, flour, egg, pounded/blended chili, salt and some herbs like coriander, parsley or green onions or even some mixed herbs. I thus experimented with these ingredients and was able to come out with these cakes. They are good as snack and can be eaten on their own or with chili or tomato sauce.
Ingredients:
- 300 g potatoes
- 4-5 tbsp all purpose flour
- 1 egg
- 1 tsp salt
- 1 tsp sambal (https://al-luckylady.blogspot.com/2018/02/sambal.html?m=1)
- 1 cup green onions
- Oil for frying
Method:
- Wash, peel and boil the potatoes in a pot of boiling water.
- When they have softened, remove them from the pot into a mixing bowl. Mash the potatoes and set aside.
- Wash and cut up the green onions into tiny bits.
- Add all-purpose flour, egg, salt, sambal and green onions to the mixing bowl of mashed potatoes.
- You may add more sambal if you want a more spicy potato cake.
- You may add more flour if the batter is too soft.
- Shape the batter into round wide cylinders.
- Heat up cooking oil in the kuali.
- When the oil is hot, place the potato cylinders into the oil.
- Fry them till they are golden brown on one side.
- Flip the potato cylinders to the other side.
- Once this side is browned, remove them onto a kitchen towel to soak up excess oil.
- You may serve this snack on its own or with chili or tomato sauce.
