Description
Potato Cheese Pancakes are a delicious twist on breakfast, combining grated potatoes and cheddar cheese for a crispy and savory treat.
Ingredients
- 2 cups grated potatoes (about 2 medium potatoes)
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
- 2 large eggs
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/4 teaspoon onion powder
- 1/4 cup chopped green onions (optional)
- 1/4 cup vegetable oil (for frying)
Instructions
- Start by peeling and grating the potatoes. Place the grated potatoes in a clean kitchen towel and squeeze out excess moisture.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the grated potatoes, shredded cheddar cheese, flour, eggs, salt, black pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, and green onions (if using). Mix until well combined.
- Heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Once the oil is hot, scoop about 1/4 cup of the potato mixture and flatten it slightly into a pancake shape. Repeat with the remaining mixture, making sure not to overcrowd the skillet.
- Cook the pancakes for about 4-5 minutes on each side, or until they are golden brown and crispy. Adjust the heat as necessary to prevent burning.
- Once cooked, transfer the pancakes to a paper towel-lined plate to absorb excess oil. Serve warm.
Notes
- For a spicier kick, add diced jalapeños or a pinch of cayenne pepper to the batter.
- Serve the pancakes with sour cream or applesauce for a delicious dip.
