Tips and Tricks

You can also freeze these potato cakes for later use. Just place them on a baking sheet and freeze for 1-2 hours. Once they are frozen, transfer them to an airtight container and store them in the freezer for up to 3 months. When you are ready to enjoy them, just fry them up in a pan as you normally would.
