The German Potato Cake from Hessen is something to try. Germany is the country for all kinds of potato recipes like the USA for corn! This potato cake is after a local recipe from Hessen. You just need the right potatoes. We recommend to use Golden as they are more waxy than the Russet potatoes. And we always use organic potatoes. Happy Baking!
