Cake "Potato" or, as it is also called, "hedgehog" - a tiny cake that has a rounded shape.

It’s not difficult to make a potato cake; the recipe does not require baking. Let’s figure out how to cook a potato cake so that the result does not disappoint us. There are many options for making a potato cake. As a rule, diversity is achieved depending on what is used as a basis.
Consider a potato cake, a recipe in which the main component is a loaf of white bread or roll. Bread must be used dried or dried specially in the oven or microwave. It needs to be crushed finely. I use a grater for this. Then you need to grind the nuts and mix with bread crumbs, add cocoa powder, a small amount of condensed milk and, if desired, add a little cognac. It is important to properly mix all the ingredients so that the resulting mass has a thick consistency. Next, the resulting mass is divided into small pieces, which give a rounded shape. Each ball is rolled in cocoa. Instead of cocoa, you can use crumb crumbs or powder. So your potato cake is ready, the recipe, as you see, is quite simple and not expensive.
I would like to share one more recipe on how to make a potato cake. The main ingredient will be a biscuit or cookie. Cookies or biscuit, just like a loaf, need to grind on a grater. Mix crumbs with butter cream and cognac. Next, we form small potatoes and decorate them with processes made from the remnants of the cream. In the end, the resulting cakes are placed in the refrigerator for half an hour. To make it, you will need a pound of cookies, a teaspoon of brandy or another alcoholic drink, a few spoons of cocoa powder, powdered sugar and 300 grams of condensed milk, cream or butter.
You can give the cake a very different shape from a circle to the faces of animals. At the same time, answering the question of how to cook a potato cake, it is worth saying that the recipe for its preparation can be modified, supplementing with various ingredients. Potato cake and recipe may include condensed milk, butter cream, butter, ordinary crackers, nuts, fruit slices, etc. Not bad if powdered sugar is used as a sprinkle, mixed in equal proportions with cocoa, you can also cover the potatoes with glaze, dipping in warm sugar syrup.
Consider making a cake with milk. We need to grind 700 grams of cookies. Grind a dozen walnuts. Next, pour a third of a glass of granulated sugar with a glass of milk and put on fire to dissolve it. Let it cool slightly, and add 150 grams of butter, a spoonful of cocoa powder, cooked cookie crumbs, ground nuts and rum or cognac. For a children's menu, rum can be replaced with juice. Both grape and apple juice without pulp will do. We will form potatoes and decorate with sprouts. For sprouts: you can grind a spoonful of butter with a spoonful of granulated sugar. We will send finished products to the refrigerator for half an hour.
It is not at all difficult to cook, having spent quite a bit of time on cooking, but so much joy can be brought into the house. Enjoy your meal.
