Oh Gail! My mother always made potato cakes too - the exact same way. They were delicious - much better than the mashed ones to begin with. Once in a great while I remember and make them to this day...wonder if this is a Kansas recipe? ha, ha

Yes I do love those potato cakes w/ only one change in your orginal recipe by adding a tiny dash of garlic powder. Thanks for the memories!

Me too kids, and my mom was a Kansas girl as well, only neither she or I had the chickens or the AAA eggs you describe. What grand memories and the bacon fat doesn't seem to have hurt me a bit.......Kath

Ah, how this takes me back! Our Mother's potato cakes were a sumptuous repast from the gods, and I've never been able to duplicate the taste. Not surprising since I only have access to store eggs, but perhaps not having Mother's hand on the spoon has something to do with it! Carol

This recipe makes my mouth water. Was there anything your Mother wasn't able to do? I think not!
