Cooking potato cakes When all the cakes are formed and floured, carefully place in the heated oil.

After about five minutes the base of the potato cake should be golden brown. Turn each cake over, add the remaining tablespoon of olive oil and fry for a further fives minutes until both sides are now golden brown.
