Potato cakes with piquante pepper salsa
This yummy potato cake recipe will be love at first bite. Soft and crispy potato cakes, topped with caramllized onions and a piquante pepper salsa! The meal below is my idea of comfort food. If you have left over mashed potato then make up a batch of these potato cakes .
You don’t need to be too precise with the ingredients. A bit of this and bit of that is normally what goes on. You can’t really go wrong with hot, fried mashed potato and of course topped with the Peppadew salsa it is heaven.
