The Spruce Eats

Fadge is also known as potato cakes, or potato pancakes. The recipe is simple and quick and a loaf of fadge makes a great emergency bread.

Ingredients

1 pound/500 grams potatoes (cooked and mashed; can use leftover mashed potatoes)

1 ounce/30 grams butter (melted plus a little extra for greasing)

1/2 teaspoon salt

1 medium egg

4 ounces/115 grams all-purpose flour (plus a little extra for rolling out)

1 teaspoon baking powder

Method

Gather the ingredients.

Preheat the oven to 400 F/205 C/Gas 6. Place the mashed potato in a large baking bowl and add all the other ingredients. Mix the ingredients together to create a light, but sticky dough.

Heavily flour your work surface of the board, if you don't use enough flour the dough will stick to the board.

Roll out the dough to approximately ½ inch/1 centimeter thickness.

Cut the dough into saucer-sized rounds. Score each round with a cross to mark 4 equal wedges. You can also make individual cakes by cutting with a round biscuit or scone cutter, the size you wish them to be.

Grease a baking sheet with lots of butter. Carefully lay the rounds onto the sheet (they will be quite soft so you will need to handle carefully; a spatula helps).

Bake the rounds in the center of the oven for 15 minutes or until golden brown and risen. Once cooked lay onto a cooling rack and allow to cool slightly. These delicious rounds need to be eaten while they are freshly cooked and warm.
