Frequently Asked Questions
Why Didn’t My Puff Pastry “Puff”?
If you find that the puff pastry doesn’t puff up, it could be because the dough warmed up too much, causing the butter to soften. During the baking process, this can cause the butter to melt out rather than creating the steam pockets that help the dough rise.
What Type of Sausage Goes in Savory Potato Cake?
You can use any crumbled sausage that you enjoy the most such as honey garlic, bratwurst, or hot or mild Italian sausage.
How Can I Make Savory Potato Cake Golden Brown?
A key element to ensuring the savory potato cake bakes to a beautiful golden brown color is to brush it with egg wash. Make sure that you brush it thoroughly over the puff pastry to coat it before baking it in the oven.
How to Store the Savory Potato Cake
Leftover potato cake can be tightly wrapped and refrigerated for up to 3 to 4 days. It can then be warmed up in the oven to warm it through and crisp up the pastry.
