Potato patties

by | Nov 30, 2025 | Vegetable dishes

There’s something fun about turning a few basic ingredients into a dish that feels a little special. These potato patties are exactly that kind of recipe – crispy on the outside, soft inside, and great for those days when you want something homemade without overthinking it. They also pair nice with a cool cucumber dip that adds a fresh touch to every bite.

I like making this combo when I’m in the mood for comfort without heaviness. The patties come together easily, and the dip can rest in the fridge while you cook, so everything fits smoothly into a relaxed kitchen routine. Whether you serve them as a snack, a light meal, or a side dish, they always seem to disappear quickly.

Hungarian cottage cheese

This is what Hungarian túró looks like

You often ask me what kind of cottage cheese (or curd cheese or farmer's cheese - call it what you want) I use in the recipes. In Hungary the store-bought cottage cheese is dry and crumbly as you can see in the picture. So if a recipe calls for túró, I mean this type. If you can't obtain túró, you can try to make your own from whole milk. Click on the link below.

Metric system vs cup

In Hungary metric units are in use, all the recipes on this website are based on this system, so a kitchen scale is necessary. Since I’m not familiar with cup as a measurement unit, I convert grams to cups by using an online converter. The values in brackets, therefore, are only approximate volumes, so, please, double-check them before you start cooking.
