Maybe I am confused, but I think of potato cakes as leftover mashed potatoes, add a little egg and flour, then fry it on both sides for a side dish at breakfast. My husband also makes something similar which he claims passed down through his German grandmother. Hope this helps. ~L

Depending on where you're at potato cakes can be anything from a hash brown to a pancake or fritter.There are actual cakes made using potatoes or potato flour, even sweet potatoes, that are potato cakes as well.

The woman who told me about potato cakes is Spanish but her English mother in law taught them to her, and they are just mashed potatoes and flour I think, but I didn't know they were eaten for breakfast. I'll try them this weekend!

If she's Spanish It may be a Tortilla Espanola. They're often served on a tapas style menu.
