NOTES : From me: I usually use olive oil spray instead of the oil.

 

I usually shred the potatoes and carrots in the food processor. We like fewer

carrots and more potatoes. I usually use 5 or 6 potatoes and only 1 or 2

carrots. I put all the " shreds " into a big bowl and mix it up, adding

seasonings that we like: garlic, a sprinkle of pepper, sometimes a sprinkle or

paprika or cayenne (only a tiny bit--less than a pinch). You could add whatever

appealed to you. Most often, I sprinkle in a bit of garlic powder and onion

powder and that's it.

 

I like to make these using the flat side of my waffle iron. It browns them on

both sides at the same time and also " squishes " the cake flatter. We like it

this way, but cooked in a frying pan is good, too.
