Ingredients

• 1 teaspoon baking soda
• 1 ¾ cups all-purpose flour
• 1 ½ cups buttermilk
• salt and ground black pepper to taste
• 2 tablespoons butter, or as needed
• ½ pound potatoes, unpeeled
• ½ pound potatoes, peeled and grated

Recipe Instructions

Step 1

Preheat oven to 450 degrees F (230 degrees C). Scrub the unpeeled potatoes and prick them several times with a fork; place onto a baking sheet.

Step 2

Bake in the preheated oven until the potatoes are easily pierced with a fork, 50 minutes to 1 hour. Remove, cool, and peel. Mash the potatoes with the buttermilk. Stir in the grated raw potato, flour, baking soda, salt, and pepper.

Step 3

Melt the butter in a large skillet or griddle over medium heat. Scoop the potato mixture into the skillet to make 3 inch cakes. Fry until golden and crisp, turning once, about 5 minutes per side.
