Mildred, Maladyetz! I make these all the time, great to see you put recipe on this site! So simple, and great when you have left over potatoes, and want to make something tasty out of them. In Australia (where I live) we too cook these in the Russian community. Great snack for your children too, they will be full before you know it! Enjoy xx

Thank you for the recipe Mildred. My mom passed this exact recipe down to her children. She told us that this was a German or Jewish recipe as her mother was Jewish. No matter to me where this recipe originated; I LOVE it!!!

Mildred: I came across your recipe while looking for one to equal the way my mother made potato cakes over 40 years ago. It's not a hard recipe, really, but everything's got to be just right. And they were just right, too! I guess it goes to show we're not so different after all! Thanks, and welcome.

My mother has passed and I never go this recipe from her. I was so pleased to get this to add to my recipe file! We are from Germany and used to eat them with applesauce. Thanks so much for sharing!
