Potato Cakes- Using Up Leftovers..
This is a great way to use up leftovers. I had quite a bit of the potato salad left over from the Thai themed barbecue. I wasn’t sure what to do with so much potato salad.
As I was thinking, potato cakes came to mind- especially since I also had the leftover mango salsa.
I added panko bread crumbs, an egg and some cheddar cheese to the salad and mixed it all really well. I shaped them into small cakes and sauteed them with a little oil. It took almost no time to make- and so easy. The best part was that they tasted delicious with the mango salsa. For myself I drizzled a bit of sriracha sauce which added a nice tangy, spicy aspect to the dish.
We had the potato cakes for lunch. I made a salad on the side- perfect for a weekend meal.

Potato Cakes with Cheddar Cheese and Dill
I made these potato cakes for get together a friend was having. She was expecting about 7 to 8 women and wanted me to make some snacks for the ladies. My initial thought was to make some chicken tikkas but then we realized some of the women were vegetarian. Instead of making two separate dishes, I decided to do a vegetarian one.
After doing a lot of thinking, I came up with these potato cakes. I grew up eating these on the streets of Delhi, India. They are called ‘Aloo Tikki‘(aloo means potatos and tikki is like a cutlet or croquette). The typical ones include boiled potatoes, onions, cilantro, etc and are served with a green chutney.
I decided to make a potato mixture with onion, ginger, green chilies as well as some bread crumbs and a sharp cheddar cheese. The cheese made the cakes soft and gooey on the inside. I also added flavorful dill and cilantro into the mix.
These cakes are great to serve as appetizers or a light meal. A nice salad and green chutney on the side is an ideal lunch.
