A bit of a weird one but me and DP can't decide who is right Confused

Which side of the potato cake would you butter!? The smooth side or the rough side?

I've attached pictures, I always butter the smooth side but he says I'm doing it wrong.

You fry them and have them in a roll with square sausage!

You are both wrong.
You split it and butter the middle.

Or fry them and have them in a roll with fried egg. You don't butter them!

Never had one myself. Curious now tho...
And would have to say rough side ( applying crumpet principle of better absorption)

If you have no cultural referents (ie just discovered them in the supermarket and thought "Mmm carbfest!") butter the rough side because the butter soaks in better than on the smooth side and you get twice as much butter on that way.

I call them potato scones rather than potato cakes too.

I like square sausages

I'm stuck at buttering them and eating them like crumpets! Shock

Surely they go on the side of a fry up ?

@PlainSpeakingStraightTalking I guess you could but I think most people butter them

You get packets of square sausages in supermarkets, in the frozen aisle

You are being unreasonable.

Making me NEED a potato cake when I don't bloody have one.

I'm not helping you out by answering your question, even though there is clearly only one right answer.
