Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 4 large potatoes peeled and grated
  • 1 small onion finely grated
  • 1 cup cheddar cheese grated
  • 2 eggs beaten
  • 3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • Vegetable oil for frying

Method
 

  1. Place the grated potatoes in a clean kitchen towel and squeeze out as much moisture as possible.
  2. In a large bowl, mix the grated potatoes, grated onion, cheddar cheese, beaten eggs, flour, salt, and black pepper until well combined.
  3. Heat a thin layer of vegetable oil in a skillet over medium heat.
  4. Scoop 2–3 tablespoons of the mixture into the pan for each pancake and flatten slightly with a spatula.
  5. Cook for 3–4 minutes per side, or until golden brown and crispy.
  6. Transfer to a plate lined with paper towels to remove excess oil.
  7. Serve hot with sour cream, yogurt, or a sprinkle of herbs.

Notes

  • You can substitute cheddar with mozzarella, feta, or a mix of cheeses.
  • For extra crispiness, use a cast iron skillet and avoid overcrowding the pan.
  • Add chopped parsley or chives to the mix for a fresh herbal flavor.
  • These pancakes can be kept warm in the oven at 200°F (95°C) until ready to serve.
