Mashed Potato Cakes with Pepper Garlic Sauce

Mashed Potato Cakes with Pepper Garlic Sauce

The theme of our 12 days of Christmas countdown this year is focused on foods you can serve at your Christmas parties that can be little additions to the staples on your dinner table and serve as appetizers, desserts, drinks and others. We all know Jollof rice, fried rice and chicken would be on the menu for a lot of houses but why not add to it? Our first suggestion is mashed potato cakes with a pepper garlic sauce which by the way you can make in bulk. The pepper garlic sauce that is. I will be writing recipes for smaller portions but please remember you can double the recipe or triple it to fit the crowd you have.

P:S : This year we are not publishing our posts sequentially. We are starting earlier so you can start picking what dishes you like 🙂
