Potato, Dill, and Broccoli Cakes with Spicy Cashew Sauce
These potato cakes + a big salad = my dream dinner right now. Something totally magical happens when mashed potatoes are roasted and get nice and crispy on the outside, while staying soft and fluffy inside. I wanted to fill out these cakes with some greens/green vegetables. I went with broccoli,
Ingredients
Instructions
-
1Boil the potatoes in well-salted water until tender, about 15-20 minutes. Add the chopped broccoli to the pot with the potatoes during the last 2 minutes of boiling, to quickly blanch it. Drain and transfer the potatoes and broccoli to a large bowl. Mash with a potato masher, simultaneously mixing in the broccoli. Once the potatoes are mashed, add 1 tablespoon of the oil, flour, garlic powder, dill, salt, and pepper to taste. Mix well.
-
2Preheat the oven to 425° F (220° C). Prepare a large, parchment-lined baking sheet. Use a ¼ cup measure to portion out the cakes on the baking sheet. Flatten them out with the back of a spoon. Brush with oil and bake for 15 minutes. Flip the cakes, brush the other side with oil, and bake for 15-20 more minutes, until crispy on the outside and golden. Serve warm, topped with the spicy cashew sauce.
-
3Soak the cashews in hot water for 15 minutes (if you have a high-powered blender, no need to soak them). Combine the cashews, Sriracha, garlic powder, salt to taste, lime juice, and water in an upright blender. Blend until smooth. Taste for salt and spice, and adjust if needed. Store refrigerated in an air-tight container.
These potato cakes + a big salad = my dream dinner right now. Something totally magical happens when mashed potatoes are roasted and get nice and crispy on the outside, while staying soft and fluffy inside. I wanted to fill out these cakes with some greens/green vegetables. I went with broccoli, since I love potatoes and broccoli together, plus dill, since it’s just meant to be with potatoes. They turned out so good! There’s a spicy cashew sauce, too, which has some sour cream vibes and goes so well with everything else. Hope you’ll give these a try.
P.S. We now post cooking videos on our YouTube channel every Wednesday and Sunday. Would love it if you checked them out.
