CZECH POTATO FLATCAKES
About 2 pounds cold potatoes, boiled in their skins and then peeled
1/2 teaspoon salt
About 2/3 cup sifted flour
Lard or butter for spreading
Sweet version of *Damson cheese*
Grated cream cheese
Sour cream or plain yogurt for decoration
Finely grate the boiled potatoes onto a board. Season with salt and gradually add the sieved flour. Work into a smooth doughy mixture.
Cut into equal sized parts and roll them into flat rounds on a floured surface.
Using a cast iron griddle on a gas burner, or a dry Teflon pan, slowly cook the flat cakes on both sides.*
When cooked, spread them with a little melted lard or butter and stack them on a plate set above a pan of hot water, to keep them warm.
Spread the flatcakes with damson cheese, sprinkle with grated hard cheese and serve them decorated with a blob of sour cream or plain yogurt.
*Damson cheese is not a cheese, but a thick fruit mixture.
**Potato flatcakes can also be fried in oil.
