How to Make Blarney Cakes Family Recipe From The Emerald Isle Zwt 8

  1. Grate the potatoes and place them in a clean kitchen towel or several layers of paper towels to remove excess moisture. Squeeze out as much liquid as possible.
  2. In a large bowl, combine the ground sausage, grated potatoes, thyme, rosemary, sage, pepper, garlic powder, parsley (if using), flour, egg, milk or cream, and salt.
  3. Mix gently until just combined. Do not overmix.
  4. Heat about 1/4 inch of vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
  5. Drop spoonfuls of the sausage and potato mixture into the hot oil, flattening slightly to form patties.
  6. Cook for 3-4 minutes per side, or until golden brown and cooked through.
  7. Remove the Blarney Cakes from the skillet and place them on a paper towel-lined plate to drain any excess oil.
  8. Serve immediately. Optional: Top with maple syrup.
