Recipe #186980 | 25 min | 15 min prep | SERVES 4 -5 , 2 -3 cakes (Change Servings)

RECIPE BY: Debber

Just like Gramma used to make on the old wood-burning stove! Excellent to serve with bacon and eggs for breakfast or as a side-dish for a light supper during Advent. Similar to hash-browns ONLY BETTER!

    My dad used to make these when I was young. They are just as yummy as I remember. They taste wonderful dipped in a little sour cream! Everyone loved them. Thanks for sharing!

    These were very good. Very similar to the ones that I make. I would suggest to anyone else making these to drain as much of the liquid off as possible before cooking them. These are very crisp and tender, just the way we like them. Thanks for sharing.
