👨🍳 Інструкції
- 1
In a large bowl, combine the mashed cooked potatoes and the finely grated, squeezed raw potatoes.
💡 Професійні поради: Ensure the raw potatoes are as dry as possible to prevent a gummy texture. - 2
Add the flour, melted lard or butter, salt, and pepper to the potato mixture. Mix well until a cohesive dough forms.
💡 Професійні поради: The consistency should be firm enough to shape but not too dry. - 3
Lightly flour a clean surface. Divide the dough into 8 equal portions and shape each portion into a flat, round pancake, about 1-1.5 cm thick.
- 4
Heat vegetable oil or lard in a large skillet over medium-high heat. The oil should be about 1 cm deep.
💡 Професійні поради: Ensure the oil is hot enough before adding the milcaos; a drop of dough should sizzle immediately. - 5
Carefully place the milcaos in the hot oil, frying them in batches to avoid overcrowding the pan. Fry for about 4-5 minutes per side, until golden brown and cooked through.
💡 Професійні поради: Adjust heat as needed to prevent burning. - 6
Remove the milcaos from the skillet and place them on a wire rack or paper towels to drain excess oil.
💡 Професійні поради: Serve immediately while hot.

- ✓Traditionally, milcaos are sometimes filled with a mixture of pork cracklings (chicharrones) or cheese before frying.
