Potato Cake

For many, the "Kartoshka" cake is a childhood delicacy that evokes nostalgia and warm memories. It appeared in Soviet times, known for the shortage of many products. Therefore, the most accessible ingredients were always used to prepare "Kartoshka". To prepare this cake, you can take either a biscuit or any cookies. In the classic version of "Kartoshka", condensed milk is put inside, but this recipe uses regular milk and sugar, which makes it even easier.

Potato Cake - FAQ About Ingredients, Baking Time and Storage

Yes, graham crackers or digestive biscuits work well as substitutes for a similar texture. For a gluten-free option, use gluten-free cookies or almond flour mixed with melted butter.
Store them in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 5 days. For longer storage, freeze them for up to 2 months—just thaw in the fridge before serving.
Absolutely! Use dairy-free butter and plant-based milk (like almond or oat milk). Ensure your cookies are vegan-friendly as well.
After rolling into balls, gently pinch the ends to mimic a potato shape. A fork can also create texture lines for added realism.
Yes, cut the sugar by 25-30% or use a sugar substitute like erythritol. The texture might be slightly firmer, so adjust cocoa if needed.
Sure! Try powdered sugar, shredded coconut, or even crushed nuts for a different flavor and texture.
They’re great as-is, but for a festive touch, drizzle with melted chocolate or serve alongside coffee or dessert wine.
Yes, the recipe scales easily. Ensure your saucepan is large enough for mixing, and chill extra cakes in batches if needed.
If the dough feels dry, add a teaspoon of milk or butter to bind it better. Work quickly while the mixture is still slightly warm.
