These potato cakes are made with mashed potatoes instead of traditional shredded potatoes. They're great with Pear Applesauce. Combine and refrigerate the potato mixture up to a day ahead; dredge in matzo meal and sauté just before serving.

Absolutely fantastic! I used all-purpose potatoes instead of yukon gold. I can't wait to make it again with yukons. Fresh dill is key, the flavor would suffer with dried dill. I had no matzo so I lightly floured the patties before frying them. To make the potato mixture easier to handle, let it cool before cooking.

Excellent combination of flavors! Fresh zucchini and dill with buttery yukon golds are delicious!

These were fantastic! The combination of the potatoes, zucchini and leek were perfectly accented by the dill. Didn't have any matzo meal so substituted plain bread crumbs. Our 2, 5 and 7 year olds loved them, too! Definitely will be making them again.
