Do you love potatoes as much as I do? If so, you’re in for a treat because I’m about to show you how to make delicious potato cakes in the oven. This recipe is super easy and guaranteed to satisfy your cravings. So get ready to roll up your sleeves and let’s get cooking!

To start off, gather all your ingredients. You will need potatoes, flour, eggs, salt, pepper, and any additional seasonings of your choice. I like to add a pinch of garlic powder and a sprinkle of dried herbs for some extra flavor. You’ll also need some vegetable oil for greasing the baking tray.

Now that you have everything you need, it’s time to get the potatoes ready. Give them a good scrub under running water to remove any dirt, and then peel them. Once they are peeled, grate the potatoes using a box grater or a food processor. Place the grated potatoes in a clean dishcloth or cheesecloth and squeeze out as much liquid as possible. This step is crucial to ensure that your potato cakes turn out crispy and delicious.

Next, transfer the grated potatoes to a mixing bowl and add the flour, eggs, salt, pepper, and any additional seasonings. Mix everything together until well combined. The mixture should be thick and sticky, perfect for forming into patties.

Now, preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and lightly grease a baking tray with vegetable oil. Using your hands, scoop up some of the potato mixture and shape it into a patty. Place the patty onto the greased baking tray and continue until all the mixture is used up. Make sure to leave some space between the potato cakes so they have room to crisp up in the oven.

Once all the patties are formed and placed on the baking tray, pop them into the preheated oven. Bake for 20-25 minutes, flipping the potato cakes halfway through the cooking time to ensure they are golden and crispy on both sides.

While the potato cakes are baking, you can start thinking about what you want to serve them with. How about a dollop of sour cream and a sprinkle of chives? Or maybe some apple sauce for a sweet and savory combination? The possibilities are endless, so get creative and have fun with it!

After 20-25 minutes, remove the potato cakes from the oven and let them cool for a few minutes before serving. I guarantee you won’t be able to resist taking a bite as soon as they come out of the oven – they are that irresistible!

So there you have it – a fun and easy way to make delicious potato cakes in the oven. I hope you enjoy making and eating them as much as I do. Happy cooking!

In conclusion, making potato cakes in the oven is a breeze. With just a few simple ingredients and a little bit of time, you can create a tasty treat that’s sure to impress. So why wait? Get into the kitchen and start grating those potatoes – your taste buds will thank you!
