Ingredients
  

For the Potato Cakes
  • 1 lb potatoes, peeled and cut into chunks or 2 cups mashed potato
  • 3 tbsp softened or melted butter (42g)
  • 6 tbsp gluten-free all-purpose flour (50g)
  • 1/2 tsp baking powder
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • to taste additional seasoning

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Boil the potatoes in salted water until tender, about 10-20 minutes.
  2. Drain and let them dry for a few minutes.
  3. Mash the potatoes until smooth.
  4. In a bowl, combine mashed potatoes with flour, baking powder, and salt to form a thick dough.
  5. On a floured surface, shape into an 8-inch round disc and cut into 8 wedges.
Cooking
  1. Heat a non-stick pan over medium-high heat and add oil or butter.
  2. Cook potato cakes for 4-5 minutes on each side until golden brown.
  3. Transfer to a wire rack to cool, and repeat with remaining dough.

Notes

Serve warm with a dollop of sour cream or a drizzle of honey. Leftovers can be stored in the fridge for 3-5 days or frozen for longer storage. To reheat, use a hot pan or microwave.
