Let’s get started on making these delightful cheesy potato pancakes!
Ingredients- 2 potatoes (medium-sized)
- 2 packets of mozzarella cheese (approx. 200g)
- 0.3 tsp salt
- Cooking oil (generous amount)
Cooking Instructions
Step 1
First, peel the potatoes and wash them thoroughly under running water. Then, slice the potatoes very thinly and cut them into fine julienne strips. It’s best to use the julienned potatoes without rinsing them in water to ensure the pancake becomes extra crispy.
Step 2
In a large bowl, combine the julienned potatoes, 2 packets of mozzarella cheese, and 0.3 tsp of salt.
Step 3
Gently mix the ingredients with your hands until they are well combined. The moisture from the potatoes and the cheese will create a cohesive mixture.
Step 4
Heat a generous amount of cooking oil in a pan over medium heat. Once the oil is hot, spread the potato and cheese mixture thinly and evenly onto the pan. Spreading it thinly is crucial to ensure it cooks through properly.
Step 5
Reduce the heat to medium-low and cook for about 3-4 minutes until the bottom side is golden brown and crispy. When the edges start to lift slightly, indicating the bottom is cooked, flip the pancake and cook the other side until it’s also golden brown. Add a little more oil if needed to prevent sticking or burning.
Step 6
Transfer the well-cooked cheesy potato pancake to a serving plate. For extra flavor, sprinkle with grated Parmesan cheese or serve with your favorite dipping sauces like ketchup, sriracha, or chili sauce. Enjoy your delicious creation!
