Stir the mixture and cook for about seven minutes until the sugar is completely dissolved. I turn off the fire. Then add pieces of butter into the milk. I stir everything well. The butter should completely melt in the milk.

Step 2. Now I grind the cookies to homogeneous crumbs. I mix the crumbs with cocoa.

Step 3. Next I combine the crushed cookies with a mixture of milk, sugar and butter. I knead the dough. I form the dough into cakes (shown in the photo). I put the cakes on a large plate and put them in the refrigerator for three hours.

Step 4. So, the potatoes are ready! I decorate the cakes with chocolate or coconut shavings on top and serve them for tea.

Potato cake - food preparation

The raw material for confectionery products can be biscuits, cookies, gingerbread or vanilla crackers. You can safely use the unutilized remains of sweet homemade baked goods. So, we have decided on the raw materials. Now it needs to be thoroughly crushed into fine crumbs. This is usually done manually or using modern automated tools.

In order to “glue” the crumbs together, we need a cream based on butter that has melted at room temperature. For taste, it is flavored with condensed milk, meringue, cream, powdered sugar, vanillin, cinnamon, and sour cream. And the very last step in making cakes is generously rolling the finished products in cocoa powder. As a rule, it is pre-mixed with granulated sugar or powder.

— It’s impossible to imagine real “potatoes” without a drop of good cognac, liqueur or rum. We advise you to refrain from adding alcohol if the dessert is being prepared for children;

— Purchased “potatoes” according to GOST must be light inside. A dark color (chocolate or cocoa powder has been added to the mixture) may indicate poor quality of the sponge cake on which the cakes are made. Manufacturers thus “paint over” the defect.

Potato cake is a simple and delicious dessert that is very easy to prepare. Outwardly, it resembles small potato tubers, and the traditional recipe requires almost no effort, you don’t even need an oven. So you can also involve the youngest family members in the cooking process, who will enjoy forming dough balls and rolling them in cocoa.

There are a huge variety of potato cake recipes. Most of them use biscuit crumbs, nuts, butter and cocoa powder as a base. In some cuisines around the world, potatoes are served during the Christmas and New Year holidays. This has already become a kind of tradition.

The basic recipe for this cake is very simple. Biscuit crumbs are used as the base, but any of your favorite cookies, as well as gingerbread and vanilla crackers, will do. The cooking process itself includes three mandatory steps:

1. flour raw materials are ground into fine crumbs. About a kilogram of biscuit or cookies is required. You can also add nuts or coconut flakes, cocoa or other ingredients to your taste.
2. a small piece of soft butter (about 50-60 g), sugar and cream (200-250 ml) are added to this mixture. Everything is thoroughly kneaded until a homogeneous plastic mass is obtained.
3. The resulting dough is manually formed into balls or oval-shaped cakes, which need to be rolled in cocoa powder, chopped nuts or coconut flakes. Before serving, cool the preparations in the refrigerator and then serve with hot tea.

The raw material for making cakes is usually a sponge cake, which is crushed into fine crumbs using a food processor or by hand. Regular cookies that you like best, gingerbread cookies without filling, and even vanilla crackers will also work. The leftover homemade baked goods left over after preparing desserts will also come in handy.

To give the crumbs plasticity and glue them together, add softened butter. And so that the mass does not turn out to be too fatty, condensed milk, powdered sugar, coconut flakes, meringue, cream, vanillin, cinnamon, sour cream and other ingredients that will suit your taste are added to the butter.

And the final stage of preparing the dessert is forming balls and rolling them in cocoa powder. You can take children's Nesquik, it will also turn out very tasty. Cocoa can also be pre-mixed with granulated sugar or powder.

Recipe 1: Potato biscuit cake

The dessert prepared according to this recipe turns out to be as close as possible to potatoes according to GOST. And if it is expected that only adults will feast on it, then you can add a little cognac or rum to enhance the taste.

Biscuit ingredients:

• eggs - 6 pcs.;
• flour - 1 glass;
• potato starch - ½ cup;
• sugar - 6 tbsp. l.;
• flour - 4 tbsp. l.;

2. Add nuts to the eggs beaten with sugar, mix gently, and then add the pre-sifted flour in two stages. Mix with a silicone or wooden spatula so that no lumps form.
3. We transfer the finished dough into a mold and send it to a preheated oven at 180 degrees. The dough needs to prepare there for about 25-30 minutes. When the sponge cake is baked, you need to remove it from the oven and let it cool right in the mold. Remember that sponge cake is very sensitive to temperature changes, so you should not open the oven door ahead of time, otherwise the dough will settle and will not be as airy.
4. Now you need to prepare the buttercream. To do this, mix the eggs and granulated sugar, place the container in a water bath and beat until the temperature of the liquid reaches 50 degrees. Then remove from the water bath and let cool to room temperature.
5. Meanwhile, while the eggs beaten with sugar are cooling, beat the softened butter with a mixer. It should lighten a little. Mix both masses with a spoon or spatula until smooth. The cream is ready.
6. Now is the time to make the cakes. To do this, take the cooled biscuit out of the mold, grind it into fine crumbs using a blender or by hand, add the prepared butter cream and cognac or rum to it. Knead the elastic dough, which is then divided into 10-12 equal parts.
7. We form each portion of the dough with our hands into an oval or into a ball and roll it in pre-prepared powder (cocoa with powdered sugar).

This is a “lighter” version of cakes when you don’t need to prepare a sponge cake. Any cookie will do, the one you like best, both homemade and store-bought.

4. Add the liquid ingredients to the cookie crumbs and mix into an elastic dough with a spoon. We manually form potato-shaped cakes.
5. Combine powdered sugar or sugar with cocoa powder, sprinkle the cakes with this mixture and put them in the refrigerator for several hours. Serve with hot tea.

The dessert prepared according to this recipe turns out incredibly delicious! And it’s ready in just a few minutes. Little sweet tooths will also be delighted. To improve the taste, you can add a small handful of raisins to the cakes, which should first be poured with boiling water (to swell).

4. From the resulting mass we prepare small balls or oval cakes and put them in the refrigerator. After a few hours, serve with hot tea.

Recipe 4: Potato cake made from crackers

This recipe is not about ordinary bread crumbs. To make the dessert delicious, you need to use dessert vanilla croutons made from a loaf.

Ingredients:

• butter - 100 g;
• thick cream or sour cream - 100 g;
• vanilla crackers - 500 g;
• any fruit syrup - 3-4 tbsp. l.;
• sugar - to taste;
• cocoa powder - 6 tbsp. l.;
• milk - 1 glass;
• nuts - optional.

Cooking method:

1. Beat sour cream or heavy cream with sugar, and add soft butter to the resulting foam, stir until smooth. Pour in the fruit syrup and add 2 tablespoons of cocoa powder. Mix everything thoroughly.
2. Grind the crackers by hand, using a food processor or meat grinder. If you use nuts, you will also need to chop them into crumbs at this stage. Pour the resulting mixture with milk and leave for a few minutes until the crackers soften. Add cocoa and mix.
3. Mix the resulting mass with cream and form oval-shaped cakes from elastic dough. Sprinkle cocoa powder mixed with sugar on top. They need to be put in the refrigerator for at least an hour, after which they should be taken out and served with hot tea.

A drop of cognac or rum in the composition can make any potato “real”. But you should not add alcohol to the cake if children will eat it.

Remember, purchased “potatoes” according to GOST must be light inside. If this is not the case, for example, cocoa powder or chocolate is added inside, then most likely the manufacturer used a low-quality biscuit, and thus hides the errors of his work. This will not happen with homemade cakes, because you yourself control the process and the quality of the products used.
