Step 1: In a large heavy-bottomed stock pot, add potatoes in heavily salted boiling water, just enough to cover the potatoes.

Step 2: Bring to a boil over high heat.

Step 3: Allow to simmer for 25 minutes until tender.

Step 4: Drain water and allow potatoes to sit in a strainer for 5 minutes to allow all water to drain.

Step 6: Stir and smash potatoes until mashed but still chunky.

Step 7: Adjust seasoning of salt and pepper to taste.

Step 8: Using an ice cream scoop, portion a 3-ounce scoop onto a baking sheet oiled heavily with olive oil.

Step 9: Form potatoes into a cake shape and top with butter, dividing equally among 10 potato cakes.

Step 10: Place potatoes under the broiler (or in a toaster oven on broil) for 5 minutes until golden brown.
