Instructions:
- Peel and cut the potatoes into large chunks.
- Place the potatoes in a large pot, cover with water, add the bay leaf, and a pinch of salt.
- Bring to a boil, reduce the heat to medium, and cook until the potatoes are tender (about 15-20 minutes).
- Drain the potatoes, discard the bay leaf, and mash the potatoes until smooth. Set aside to cool.
- In a large skillet, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium heat.
- Add the finely chopped onions and sauté until translucent (about 5 minutes).
- Add the finely chopped mushrooms, seasoning with 1/2 teaspoon of salt and 1 teaspoon of black pepper.
- Cook until the mushrooms have released their moisture and the mixture is dry (about 8-10 minutes).
- Stir in the chopped dill and remove from heat. Set aside to cool.
- Once the mashed potatoes have cooled, season them with 1/2 tablespoon of salt.
- Gradually add the whole-grain wheat flour to the mashed potatoes, mixing well until combined. The dough should be firm yet pliable.
- Divide the potato dough into 10-12 equal-sized portions.
- Take one portion of the dough and flatten it in the palm of your hand to form a small patty.
- Place a spoonful of the mushroom and dill filling in the center of the patty.
- Carefully fold the edges of the potato patty over the filling, sealing it completely, and shape it into a round cake.
- Repeat with the remaining dough and filling.
- Heat the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large non-stick skillet over medium heat.
- Fry the potato cakes in batches, cooking each side until golden brown and crispy (about 3-4 minutes per side).
- Transfer the cooked potato cakes to a plate lined with paper towels to drain any excess oil.
- In a small bowl, mix the mustard and horseradish together.
- Serve the potato cakes warm with a squeeze of fresh lemon juice and a dollop of the mustard-horseradish sauce on the side.
