The well-known "Potato" cake is usually made from crushed cookies with cocoa, butter and nuts. But what if you don't have any cookies on hand? Regular crackers with condensed milk will come to the rescue. The main thing is that they are from a loaf and not salty. The "Potato" cake made from crackers with condensed milk turns out to be no worse than the traditional version, and is prepared much faster. The recipe is very simple. Condensed milk should be white and liquid. It does not need to be boiled.

How to cook Potato cake made from crackers and condensed milk

Step 1

Start making the Potato cake with rusks and condensed milk. Transfer the crushed rusks to a deep bowl. Add cocoa powder and stir. Add condensed milk. Mix the rusks with condensed milk and add softened butter. It is better to mix the ingredients with your hands until the mass becomes sticky and stops crumbling.

Step 2

Form a "potato" from breadcrumbs with condensed milk. Separate an equal amount of the mass and roll it into a ball. Then give it an oval shape. Roll the cake in breadcrumbs intended for breading. Put the cakes in the refrigerator for 30 minutes. The butter should set, harden slightly, and the cakes will hold their shape better.
