Craving a comforting and satisfying meal? These Cheesy Potato Pancakes are the perfect choice. Made with simple ingredients you probably already have in your pantry, they’re easy to prepare and packed with flavor.
Ingredients:
- 3 large potatoes
- Fresh parsley, finely chopped
- 3 large eggs
- 1/2 teaspoon ground pepper
- 1 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons rice flour (or wheat flour as an alternative)
- 1 teaspoon salt
- Vegetable fat (for cooking)
- 200 grams (7 oz) Mozzarella or Cheddar cheese, grated
Instructions:
- Prepare the Potatoes: Peel and either cut or grate the potatoes. Place them in a bowl and soak in cold water for 3 minutes to remove excess starch.
- Mix the Ingredients: Drain and pat the potatoes dry. In a large bowl, combine the potatoes with finely chopped parsley, 3 beaten eggs, 1/2 teaspoon ground pepper, 1 teaspoon black pepper, 2 tablespoons rice flour, and 1 teaspoon salt. Mix thoroughly.
- Cook the Pancake: Heat vegetable fat in a large pan over medium heat. Add half of the potato mixture to the pan, spreading it evenly.
- Layer the Cheese: Sprinkle a layer of grated Mozzarella or Cheddar cheese over the potato mixture.
- Layer and Flip: Carefully spread the remaining potato mixture on top of the cheese layer. Cover the pan and cook until the bottom is golden brown and crispy. Flip the pancake, adding more vegetable fat if needed, and cook the other side until it is also golden brown.
- Serve: Transfer the Cheesy Potato Pancake to a serving plate. Serve hot and enjoy as a hearty and delicious meal!
Tips:
- Ensure the pan is hot enough before adding the potato mixture to get a crispy texture.
- For extra flavor, you can add herbs or spices of your choice to the potato mixture.
- Enjoy your Cheesy Potato Pancake with a side salad or as a stand-alone treat. It’s sure to be a hit at the dinner table!
