What to call this 'snack'?
I don't know what it's called. I once tried making a hash brown at home but it wasn't quite a hash brown. Basically I peeled and grated some potatoes and one onion. I squeezed the moisture out using a kitchen towel. I then cracked an egg into it and seasoned it. I made them into little patties and shallow fried them in very little oil. They don't look or taste like hash browns - but they are delicious and I now make them every Sunday for my breakfast.
Has anyone made anything like that before and if so does it have a specific name? |

It actually looks like that ! But I'm still gutted I can't make hash browns at home. I followed the recipe I used exactly and ended up with the 'latke' lol. |

Potato and onion. Lovely! I do something similar with grated potato and onion, which I mix with grated cheese and sometimes chives, season well, and press the mixture into oiled muffin tins and bake. They're lovely, too!
I don't often go to M&S but I bought a Moroccan spice mill from there a while ago and it's been adding a great punch to a lot of my dishes. |

I'll try that this weekend. How long did you bake them for? I actually added cheese to the first post recipe on Sunday and it tasted just as good.

Sounds much like a Tortilla (Spanish omelette) to me.

Don't think you have egg in a rosti though.

Because of it being a fried grated potato cake I aslo would have said rosti or even a boxtie but it would depend on where you are and there'll be many variations on a theme. Just look at the wiki entry for related content.

I think about 20 mins but just until it was browned and looked cooked, really. I par-boiled the potatoes first. (They don't have a name, either!).

I think you need to rename them 'Abibbles'

Kartoffelpuffer or potato pancakes.
Usually they have flour, but this recipe is flourless: http://germanfood.about.com/od/potat...topancakes.htm |

Around here a fadge was a bread like a stottie but denser because of the use of potato.
I'd say what the OP made was certainly a variant on a hash brown recipe, just not like the sort of hash browns you get in the freezer section. |
