The Potato cake is perhaps one of the easiest to cook and favorite treats since childhood. A dessert is prepared from cookies, cocoa and nuts, sometimes with the addition of a biscuit.

You will need
-
- 700g of any dried cookies ("Strawberry"

- 200 g of condensed milk;

Instruction manual
1
Grate cookies, pass through a meat grinder or grind in a blender.
2
Melt the butter in a water bath and combine with condensed milk.
3
Add cocoa powder and mix well again.
4
Pour the crushed cookies into the mixture and knead the dough.
5
Form oblong cakes shaped like potatoes. Or give them a round shape.
6
Refrigerate for 20-25 minutes.
7
If desired, the resulting cakes can be sprinkled on top with coconut flakes or garnished with nuts to give greater resemblance to potatoes, depicting characteristic "sprouts".
8
To achieve a more pronounced aroma and enhance the taste of cocoa, professional confectioners recommend adding a drop of cognac or rum to the dough.
9
For the preparation of a “potato” cake, along with cookies, you can also use leftover biscuit or shortcrust pastry or vanilla crackers. The procedure is preserved.

If you want to give the cake a more festive look (for example, for a children's holiday), you can easily turn the potato cake into a hedgehog dessert.

To do this, it is enough to form balls of arbitrary size from the ready-made dough and slightly extend one side to create a hedgehog nose. Using petals from almonds or seeds is very easy to create “needles”. Eyes can be made from cream or nuts in chocolate.
