For extra flavor, try adding a pinch of garlic powder or some chopped fresh herbs, such as chives or parsley, to the batter. Mashed sweet potatoes can be substituted for regular potatoes for a sweeter variation. To keep the potato cakes warm while you cook the remaining batter, place them on a baking sheet in a preheated 200°F (95°C) oven.
