There are many snacks in my hometown Jinchang, such as beef noodles, cold rice noodles, Misha bean jelly, oil cakes and potato cakes. These snacks have different tastes. Among these local snacks, potato cakes are my favorite. Why? Let me introduce you. I'm sure you will like it.
Potato cake, as its name implies, is a cake made of potatoes. Everyone will definitely ask: What's so strange about potato cakes? We had tortillas and pumpkin pie, that's all! If you really think so, it's all wet. The reason why potato cake can become a special snack must not be as simple as it looks, but naturally it has its own uniqueness and it is very troublesome to make!
The first step in making potato cakes is to choose potatoes. Only when the raw materials are good, the taste of potato cakes will be good, so the potatoes you choose must be big and full, and the rougher the skin, the better the taste. Gansu is rich in potatoes, which is natural. The second step is peeling. Wash the potatoes first, then peel them. This is also a technical job. Watch your hands. Don't hurt yourself. Now it's the third step-grinding potatoes, which is the key link in the whole potato cake making process. Because the grinding is not good, it will directly affect the taste of potato cakes, so it must be ground evenly. The fourth step is blending. The ground mashed potatoes are a little thin and not easy to spread into cakes. It is necessary to add a proper amount of flour, and the amount of flour to be added shall be subject to no exudation during stirring. In order to make potato cakes delicious, you must beat a few eggs, and finally add seasonings such as salt according to your personal taste. Ok, now we can start baking the cake. You can use a pan or an electric baking pan. The key to baking a cake is to master the heat. A big fire is easy to paste, and a small fire is easy to break. It is not difficult as long as the work ahead is done solidly. A cake only takes five or six minutes. You see, in a short time, a few round, Huang Chengcheng and delicious potato cakes are ready. Just smelling them makes people drool. You will definitely ask, can I eat now? Sure, you can eat it directly. But the best way to eat it is to put a little oil on the potato cake, with Chili noodles, sauce, shredded garlic and onions, and then roll it up or cut it into strips. It is really delicious. Speaking of which, I am greedy, and you!
Friends from afar, if you have the opportunity to come to my hometown of Gansu, you must try the potato cakes in my hometown. It will definitely feast your eyes on you, and you will be satisfied on a whim. I hope that the potato cakes in my hometown can be tasted by more people and make people linger.
