In this video, I attempt to make an unusual recipe for potato cakes, which I found in a 1920 cookbook. The recipe includes mashed potato mixed with a beaten egg, milk, and seasoning, which is formed into something somewhat resembling (American foot?)balls with a bit of flour. I then wrap a thin strip of bacon around each ball, securing it with a wooden toothpick. After placing the bacon-wrapped potato balls in a hot oven, I wait for the bacon to become crispy and brown. Finally, I'll have a taste test. The recipe is unconventional but let's see what happens! Recipe for "Different" Potato Cakes: "2 cupfuls cold mashed potato, 2 tablespoonfuls milk, 1 egg, bacon Add to the potato the egg, well beaten, milk, salt, and pepper to taste if the potato has not already been seasoned. Mix well and form, using a little flour, into eight or ten neat balls. Pin around each a thin strip of bacon, using a wooden toothpick to hold it in place. Set in a hot oven, or under broiler blaze if gas is used, till bacon is brown and crispy. Serve at once."
