Potato Cakes

• 1 lb (500 g) potatoes
• 1 tablespoon melted butter

Boil the potatoes in their skins and then peel them. Mash them, but not too smoothly. Add the melted butter and knead in enough flour to make a pliable paste. Roll out and cut into rounds. Bake on a hot griddle or frying pan until brown on both sides.

Eat hot spread with butter and sprinkled with sugar, or fry in bacon fat and eat with bacon for breakfast.
