Almond Torte
Ingredients
6 eggs, separated
1 c sugar, divided
1 1/2 c grated almonds
1 c cold mashed potatoes
Juice and rind of 1 lemon
Directions
Beat the egg yolks until light and lemon-colored. Gradually add 1/2 cup sugar, a small amount at a time; continue beating for approximately 10 minutes. Add the grated almonds, lemon juice, lemon rind and the mashed potatoes. Beat until well blended.
In a separate bowl, beat the egg whites until stiff; gradually add the remaining 1/2 cup of sugar; continue beating until the egg whites are stiff but not dry. Fold the stiffly beaten egg whites into the yolk mixture.
Grease well and dust with potato starch a 10-inch tube pan. Pour the batter into the pan. Bake at 325 degrees for 45 to 60 minutes. Check with a pick for doneness. Serves 10.
