A favorite dish from childhood is homemade cracker potato cake. At labor lessons, girls first of all learned to cook this particular dish. Consider the most popular and delicious potato recipes.

Classic cracker potato cake

To prepare a classic recipe without baking and heat treatment we need:

  • Rusks -250 gr.;

  1. Grind crackers in a blender into small crumbs, or take ready-made sweet breadcrumbs.
  2. In a bulk container we combine sugar and cocoa powder. We leave a little cocoa for the final potato decor.
  3. Add milk and mix thoroughly with a whisk until a completely homogeneous consistency.
  4. Add melted butter to the mixture. We put the container on gas and, constantly stirring, bring to a boil.
  5. Mix crushed crackers and cocoa. This is done so that the crackers evenly mixed with cocoa.
