Description
Delicious crispy potato pancakes with cheddar cheese, perfect for a savory snack or side dish.
Ingredients
Scale
- 4 large potatoes, peeled and grated
- 1 cup cheddar cheese, shredded
- 2 large eggs
- 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/4 cup chopped green onions
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Oil for frying
Instructions
- Prepare Potatoes: Grate the peeled potatoes using a grater. Place the grated potatoes in a clean cloth and squeeze out the excess moisture.
- Mix Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, combine grated potatoes, shredded cheddar cheese, and chopped green onions. Add the eggs, all-purpose flour, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Mix thoroughly until all ingredients are well combined.
- Form Pancakes: Take a small handful of the mixture and form it into a flat pancake shape, about half an inch thick.
- Heat Oil: In a skillet, heat a generous amount of oil over medium heat.
- Cook Pancakes: Carefully place the pancakes into the hot oil without crowding the pan. Fry each side for about 3-4 minutes, or until golden brown and crispy. Remove and place on a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.
Notes
- For extra flavor, add some smoked paprika or cayenne pepper.
- Ensure oil is hot enough before adding pancakes to prevent them from being greasy.
- Serve with sour cream or applesauce for a classic touch.
- You can prepare the potato mixture in advance and store it in the refrigerator for up to 24 hours.
