Ingredients
- 2 potatoes
- 20 g unsalted butter
- to taste fruit and vegetable salt
Instructions
- 1Steam the potatoes
Cut the potatoes into chunks and place them into a pot to steam for 20 minutes until fully softened.
Tip: Ensure the potatoes are cut into uniform chunks so they steam evenly. - 2Mash the steamed potatoes
Transfer the hot steamed potato chunks into a bowl and mash them thoroughly into a smooth puree while still hot.
Tip: Mash the potatoes while they are hot to prevent lumps from forming. - 3Season the potato puree
Add an appropriate amount of fruit and vegetable salt directly onto the warm mashed potatoes.
Tip: Add seasoning while the puree is warm so it blends in easily. - 4Add unsalted butter
Add 20 grams of unsalted butter into the bowl with the seasoned mashed potatoes and mix thoroughly.
Tip: Use unsalted butter to properly control the sodium content for young children. - 5Shape the potato cakes
Take a portion of the potato puree, roll it into a small ball in your palm, and gently flatten it into a small round shape.
Tip: Wear food-safe disposable gloves to prevent the potato mixture from sticking to your hands.
