Here's the cake I made. Yellow potatoes are boiled or steamed then mashed, cooled, mixed with eggs, sugar, chopped dried fruit (apple here, though raisin is more common) and just a bit of flour before being poured in a springform pan and topped with more sugar (for dat crunch) and baked.
It's served with warm custard.

Got you covered.

>Just read up on it and that's similar to a dish we eat where I'm from called gattò. Ours is a mashed potato casserole layered with smoked cheese and various cured meats, topped with fried breadcrumbs. It's served with salad on the side. I was considering making that for the challenge but decided to go with a dessert instead. Gonna pick up ingredients for it Wednesday, although I'm cooking baker's lamb and potatoes for lunch today.

>I'll be uploading it in a minute. It's the gattó thing I described in >>9255369, but the sweet version (with sugar in it and dried fruit).

>Haven't had the sweet version since I was a wee lad weearing an orange triangle and chasing cows, so I was excited to see if I can recreate it from memory with no further information beyond what I can recall my mother doing in the kitchen IE this is wholly by guesstimate.
>Plain flour, cornflour (cornstarch), bicarb, salt and sugar. I figured cutting plain flour with cornflour would work as a sub. And it does.

>Leftover, unseasoned, unmilked, unbuttered mash from several days ago. Also eggs, softened butter and a squeeze of fresh lemon (to act as the acid)

>Dried apples, chopped and reconstituted a little in warm apple juice, added.

>Also, forgot to mention the vanilla extract I added to >>9289866

>Forgot to mention the little bit of apple juice added to >>9289912 to make it more batter-like.

>Sprinkled with sugar. Otherwise, the top won't brown much while baking.

>Anyway, drizzled with melted butter and sprinkled with sugar again. Well, not really drizzled. I used butter flavoured spray because fuck trying to get real melted butter evenly distributed.

>Sliced and ready to serve.

>Was good!
>Only problem, I didn't add enough apple. Needs twice as much, at least. I know for next time.

Sliced and ready to serve.

Was good!
Only problem, I didn't add enough apple. Needs twice as much, at least. I know for next time.
