These potato cakes were a little too greasy for my taste. I think I would use less butter next time.

These potato cakes were a little bland for my taste. I think I would add some more seasoning next time.

This Irish potato cake was a hit with my family! It was easy to make and had a delicious, crispy crust and soft, fluffy interior. I added some chopped bacon and green onions to the batter for extra flavor.
