As you can see it doesn’t take much to make up these Fried Potato Cakes. Simple ingredients and easy to make. You can serve them with any kind of dipping sauce. Personally sour cream is our favorite and we add chives to the sour cream! I think Ranch Dressing or Honey Mustard is also a good addition.
