Deb Cakes

When you have no opportunity to shop for 5 weeks you come to rely on dried & frozen foods. We ran out of fresh potatoes 2 weeks in, so we were on the dehydrated potato (Deb) after that. By El Questro it was time for something different so I decided to make some potato cakes using dehydrated potato. Might sound a little weird but these were very tasty. We had them for dinner with a steak & a tin of veggies & then cooked the rest up for breakfast with bacon, sausages & eggs. Now we are really camping!

Ingredients

- 2 cups of dehydrated potato (we actually use the Edgell brand, you can use Deb)

- 1 cup of milk (we used UHT)

- 3/4 cup of water

- 1 tablespoon of butter

- 3 tablespoons of grated Parmesan cheese

- salt & pepper

Directions

- in a saucepan place the milk, water, butter, salt & pepper & bring to a simmer. 

- turn off heat & add the dehydrated potato & cheese, stir until thick. 

- allow to cool until cool enough to shape into patties. 

- let the patties firm up in the fridge until you are ready to cook (at least an hour). 

- fry off in a frying pan over a medium heat in some oil of your choice. 

- serve. 

These were crunchy on the outside & fluffy on the inside, the cheese gave them great flavour.

Browning up nicely. 

Yummy, just as good as hash browns.
