Growing up, we have nostalgia for the taste of dishes from childhood. It's just that we are made. After all, now we only have to remember about chocolate bars in a wrapper with crocodile Gena and Cheburashka, crispy waffles with boiled condensed milk and melting potato cake. Such delicacies are in the distant past, so you have to cook them yourself at home.
We will devote today's review to a recipe with an unpretentious name for the "Potato" cake. It was this delicacy that was an excellent way to dispose of the remains of rusks, biscuits, biscuits, waffles and other confectionery products. Another advantage of this treat is that the cake does not need to be heat treated. All that is needed is to mix the products, form cakes from the resulting mass in the form of a well-known vegetable and decorate on top with wafer chips, crushed nuts or roll in cocoa powder. And when the cakes are frozen, you can enjoy the taste of childhood.
As you can see, the dish is quite simple, and its production is a real lifesaver of every confectionery shop, incl. and home. Therefore, today I will tell you how to cook a rare culinary masterpiece of the Soviet past - the Potato bun cake.

Step-by-step preparation of the Potato cake from buns, recipe with photo:
1. Pour milk into a saucepan.
2. Place the sliced butter on top of it.
3. Next, add 1 tbsp. cocoa powder and sugar. It is advisable to sift the cocoa through a fine sieve so that there are no lumps.
4. Boil the milk so that all the food is dissolved and a homogeneous liquid mass is obtained. Cool the milk to room temperature and pour in the cognac. Any aromatic liqueur, rum or whiskey will do instead.
5. Break the buns into pieces and place them in a food processor using the slicing knife attachment. Instead of buns, you can use any base, even an assortment is suitable: cookies and waffles, crackers and biscuits, etc.
6. Grind the buns until crumbly. If you don't have a food processor, then twist the buns in a meat grinder.
7. Combine flour crumbs with 1 tbsp. cocoa powder and milk liquid.
8. Mix everything well until smooth. If the mass seems to you very rare, do not worry, after cooling the cake, it will solidify.
9. Form an oval cake like a potato tuber.
10. Sprinkle cocoa powder or any other powder of your choice on the cake. Put it on a board, cover with a bag so that it does not weather and send it to the refrigerator to freeze for 2-3 hours. Then you can start your meal.
