Sunday Brunch: Potato Cakes Recipe
How to make the best meal of the week even better.
Editor's note: Each Saturday morning we bring you a Sunday Brunch recipe. Why on Saturday? So you have time to shop and prepare for tomorrow.
If you find yourself in the position of having too many leftover potatoes and not enough gravy, these simple cakes makes a quick crisp brunch. As they cook, the potatoes and cheese tend to get soft, so be gentle when flipping. A bloody mary and couple of potato cakes will surely take the edge off any sort of post-holiday drowsiness.
