Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use leftover mashed potatoes for the potato cakes?
Yes, leftover mashed potatoes work well. Make sure they are not too wet or overly seasoned, as both will affect the texture and flavor of the finished cakes.
How do I keep potato cakes from falling apart in the pan?
Chill the formed cakes for at least 20 minutes before frying. This firms them up and reduces the chance of them breaking when flipped. A well-heated pan also helps.
Can I make the cranberry orange chutney in advance?
Yes, the chutney keeps for up to 2 weeks in the fridge. The flavor actually improves after a day as the balsamic and spices meld together.
Can I use dried cranberries instead of fresh for the chutney?
Fresh or frozen cranberries are needed for this chutney since dried cranberries are already sweet and do not break down the same way. If using frozen, thaw first.
