Fried Potato Cakes

This recipe will make about 18 cakes.

14 ounces of potatoes, peeled and sliced into thin matchsticks
2/3 cup of all-purpose flour
1/3 cup of water
1 teaspoon of salt
2 tablespoons of finely chopped parsley
1/4 cup of cooked soybeans
2 teaspoons of black sesame seeds, roasted*
4 tablespoons of sesame oil

Boil the potatoes in salted water for 2 minutes
In a bowl, combine the flour and the water, then add the potatoes, the salt, the parsley, the soybeans, and the sesame seeds. Mix this all well.

Heat a frying pan, then add the sesame oil.

When the oil is hot, pour small amounts of the potato mixture into the frying pan to form cakes about 3 inches in diameter.

Cook the cakes over medium heat for about 10 minutes, turning until both sides are golden brown and crispy.

Repeat this process until all the potato mixture has been used.

Drain the cakes on paper towel.

Serve at once.
