Perfect Potato Cakes
"I got the basis for this recipe from a friend and tweaked it a bit to fit my taste. There's just something about these potato cakes that makes them better than the best!! I think its a combo of the bread crumbs and the butter flavor Crisco. All I know is these are super for breakfast, lunch, dinner, or a snack! I love 'em! And they are so easy!!"

I am a single gal, living on my own; currently working as an Occupational Therapist & living in Cumberland, MD. (It is "God's Country" out here...beautiful!) I LOVE to cook and bake, and love anything that looks, tastes, smells, or even closely resembles a veggie. I LOVE moo-cows, and therefore, cannot bring myself to eat any part of the adorable critters (i.e. NO RED MEAT!!)
I love the outdoors, and pride myself on being the master griller on the fire pit.
My mother's side of the family is 100% Polish, so I have an inborn passion for cooking...unfortunately, along with that comes a love of eating, too!! But, hey..u only live once, so I say "EAT, DRINK, and BE MERRY!!!"
