potato cake
Another strange old recipe from my grandmother. I used to love this cake.
Blue Ribbon Recipe
This old-fashioned potato cake is dense but fluffy at the same time. It has a rich chocolate flavor. Cinnamon, nutmeg, and cloves add a spice to the cake. We sprinkled powdered sugar when serving. No one will guess it's made with mashed potatoes. This recipe is a good way to reinvent leftovers.
