- Add remaining potato cake ingredients and mix well.
- Combine breadcrumbs with flour and 1 Teaspoon of Dill in large bowl.
- Combine beaten egg & milk in another large bowl.
- Measure approx 1/2 cup of potato mixture into your hands and shape into a patty about the size of a hamburger patty.
- Drop potato mixture into breading mixture, then into egg & milk, and then back into breading mixture. Be sure to cover entire surface with breading. Arrange the potato cakes on a plate, repeat the process with remaining potato mixture.
- Cover and chill the potato cakes for one hour so they will be sure to stick together when fried.
- Heat up shortening in skillet over medium-low heat.There should be about 1" of shortening in the pan.
- Fry the potato cakes in the oil 2-4 minutes or until golden brown, then drain on rack or paper towels.
