Mashed Potato Cakes Recipe with Blue cheese
In this recipe, two extraordinary ingredients are blended together, blue cheese and panko. Blue cheese is a type of cheese that has a bacterial culture in it, it has a flavor which varies from nutty to sour or tangy. It goes best with similarly strong, flavored food and drinks, and with red wines. Panko, on the other hand is a flaky bread crumb used in Japanese cuisine as a crunchy coating for fried foods. These two ingredients are responsible for making this potato cake extraordinarily delicious! Here’s how to do it.
