A quick spectacular dish for the festive table for the whole family – Spanish meat cake. Prepare it for the New Year’s celebration – we promise you will not regret it! Like all authentic Spanish dishes, the cake is cooked for one or two or three times from the available products and it turns out to be hearty and appetizing. Men will appreciate this dish, they love snack cakes.

The basis of baking is grated potatoes, which are mixed with chopped cheese and smoked meats. When choosing cheese, give preference to a solid product with a fat content of 50%. In Spain, for such a cake, they use a national product – jamon ham. If it is not possible to purchase jamon, feel free to use brisket, smoked chicken fillet and ham in various proportions. In addition to these components, fleshy vegetables are added to the cake – fresh, sun-dried tomatoes and bell peppers. For a piquant taste, the use of green or onions and aromatic spices is allowed. Flour is added to baking in a limited amount.
