Cooking potato cheese cakes

[rahul991]

Can anyone help me out in providing some cooking recipes on potato cheesecakes?

Are you talking about savory potato cakes which have cheese, as opposed to sweet cheesecakes which have potato? I've often made potato cakes using leftover cooked potatoes, usually stewed or baked, leaving lumps of potato in the batter. They involve mashing some of the potato and/or using the stewing liquid and adding flour, egg and milk to make a stiff batter, then frying as fritters. I see no reason you couldn't add cheese to this; you'd just have to be extra careful to avoid sticking as they cooked.

 

I have no experience with adding potato to a sweet cheesecake. I have had savory cheesecake (notably the crawfish cheesecake at the Palace Cafe in New Orleans) which could, I guess, utilize potato in the batter.
