Step-by-step cooking
Step 1:
How to make a classic Potato cake? Prepare the products. Cookies are usually taken the simplest sugar type jubilee, for tea. But a lot of people do with what is at hand: oatmeal, biscuit, biscuit. I always cook only with the traditional one, so I don't know what the taste will be with the other one. Choose real condensed milk, without milk fat substitutes. The same goes for oil. Take it out of the refrigerator in advance, it should become soft.
Step 2:
Chop cookies in any way convenient for you. I have a convenient large combine harvester, a large number of products are placed in it at once, I grind in it. Someone prefers a meat grinder, so, by the way, they made cookies in my childhood. And you can do with a simple rolling pin. Fold the cookies into a tight bag and beat it properly with a rolling pin. In this case, the crumb will be large enough, which, however, will not affect the taste of the cakes in any way.
Step 3:
Put the soft butter and condensed milk in a bowl. Using a fork, stir them to a cream state. You can, of course, take a mixer, but in this recipe it does not matter - the condition of the cream can be any, it will not affect the final result in any way. And you still have to wash the mixer. Instead of a fork, you can take a whisk.
Step 4:
Add cookie crumbs to the butter cream. Mix the ingredients with the same fork until completely homogeneous.
Step 5:
The dough will turn out thick enough, it can be molded.
Step 6:
Pour cocoa powder on a plate. Make an oblong cake from the dough. Roll it in cocoa from all sides and put it on parchment. In general, the shape of potatoes can be any - both oval and round. You can make them as similar as possible to potatoes by making uneven tubers.
Step 7:
Put the finished chocolate potatoes in the refrigerator for at least an hour. The butter should cool well and harden, which will make the cakes harder. They will be convenient and tastier to eat. Before serving, potatoes can be decorated with cream, chocolate, sprinkles. I made white dots out of the cream, similar to potato sprouts.
I have been cooking chocolate potatoes for a long time according to different recipes. We love her very much with the whole family. This classic recipe is no worse than others. I liked the proportions, I will definitely remember them.
You can add a tablespoon of alcohol like cognac to the cake, but this is provided that children will not eat it. Because here the alcohol will not evaporate, but will remain as it is.
Potatoes are also prepared with the addition of crushed nuts, coconut chips, various flavors - cinnamon, vanilla.
