Potato Purée Cake to Mix with Sausages or Meat
Origin: Castile, Spain
Source: Anonymous, 1920
Ingredients
- 500 g potatoes
- 50 g manteca (lard)
- 6 whole eggs
- milk
- salt
- manteca (lard)
Instructions
- Boil potatoes until tender, peel them, and pass through a ricer or food mill. In a heavy pan over low heat, mix the purée with milk and manteca (lard), stirring constantly until the milk is fully absorbed and the mixture is well combined. Remove from heat and continue stirring while adding the eggs one by one, beating well to incorporate each one. Season with salt to taste.
- Grease a smooth mold with manteca (lard). Pour the mixture into the mold and set it in a water bath (bain-marie). Cook until set and a skewer inserted in the center comes out clean. Let rest briefly before unmolding and serving. Serve alongside sausages or meat.
