POTATO CAKE.
Many people have elaborate specialties they like to serve on New Year's Eve, fancy dishes like caviar and oysters which were different from when I was growing up. This simple delicious dish was always served on New Year's Eve in my family. It's a little bit like a beef pot pie or a shepherd's pie, Italian style, but not quite because it doesn't have any pastry. The "rice- potato mixture takes the place of the pastry, which is why we call it potato cake.
