March's Recipe: Irish Potato Cakes

Bill got to chose this month's recipe, so, courtesy of Bill, here's our recipe for Irish Potato Cakes...

IRISH POTATO CAKES (a great way to use leftover mashed potatoes)
2 c. flour
4 t. baking powder
1 t. salt (Mrs. Dash)
3 T. butter
1 t. caraway seed
2 c. shredded/mashed cooked potatoes (or instant mashed, following box directions)
¾ c. milk
Chopped green pepper
Chopped onion

Mix dry ingredients, blend in butter; add caraway seed, mashed potatoes and lastly, the milk. To shape, you can pat into 4” ‘cakes’, or roll out ½ to ¾ in. thick and cut with biscuit cutter or cut into squares with knife. Brown slowly in small amount of oil in heavy skillet or on griddle. Serve hot. Makes 15 – 18 cakes.
