Crispy Potato Cakes

Written By: Chris - Jun• 23•15

Many of you know I try to create dishes based on ingredients that I have on hand in my refrigerator and pantry.  I always try to use up left overs and mashed potatoes are one of those items that can easily be transformed herunterladen!  I recently prepared these delicious, crunchy potato cakes as a side dish to a burger and salad for dinner.  I really prefer to use “Panko” (a Japanese-style breadcrumb) for a unique – crispy coating that you can’t get from standard type of breadcrumbs apps für windows 10en.

For years panko was found only in Asian specialty food stores and, in general, store-bought breadcrumbs were low on consumers’ shopping lists download manager herunterladen.  Panko seemed to hit the mainstream after many of the Food Networking television cooking shows increasingly highlighted it.  Now mainstream grocery stores are stocking shelves with many brands Download farming simulator 15 for free.  I prefer the Kikkoman brand, which is made fresh from specially baked, crustless bread.  The crumbs have an oblong shape, are larger, crispier and lighter, so they coat without becoming thick and clumpy like regular bread crumbs can, allowing foods to stay crispier longer herunterladen.  Their delicate, crisp texture makes them the ideal choice for baked or fried foods.  They come unseasoned, making them perfect for sweet recipes, too download top 40 for free.

I happen to have the “Glutino” brand of Breadcrumbs in the panty, which is a gluten-free bread crumb for those who are sensitive to gluten or wheat-free diets different between uploading and downloading.  I like the taste and texture, but this brand is nothing like the crispiness of regular Panko, so I simply mixed them in to use them up.
