Potato cake is a type of food made from mashed potatoes that are mixed together with other ingredients and then formed into a cake-like shape.
Potatoes are a type of vegetable that grow underground, like little treasures. They are very tasty and can be cooked in many different ways. For potato cake, cooks take boiled or mashed potatoes, which is like squishing them into a soft, lumpy texture. They then add other tasty things like eggs, cheese, onions, or herbs to make the mashed potatoes even yummier.
Once all the ingredients are mixed together, they are pressed into a round or square shape and cooked in an oven or on a stovetop. This makes the potato mixture firm enough to hold its shape, but still soft and moist on the inside.
Potato cake can be served as a main dish or as a side dish with other foods. It is a yummy and filling food that many people enjoy!
