Potato pancakes, often referred to as latkes, are a delicious and versatile dish that can be enjoyed as a breakfast, lunch, or dinner option. Adding cheese to these crispy pancakes takes their flavor to a whole new level. In this article, we’ll guide you step-by-step on how to make your very own cheesy potato pancakes.

Ingredients:

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

Instructions:

1. In a large bowl, mix together the grated potatoes and onion. Use a clean cloth or cheesecloth to squeeze out any excess moisture from the mixture.

2. Add the beaten eggs, all-purpose flour, shredded cheddar cheese, grated Parmesan cheese, salt, and black pepper to the potato and onion mixture. Stir well until all the ingredients are evenly combined.

3. Heat a generous amount of vegetable oil in a large frying pan over medium heat.

4. Spoon a portion of the potato mixture into the hot oil, spreading it out with the back of a spoon to form a pancake shape. Repeat this step to make as many pancakes as desired, leaving enough space between them to flip.

5. Cook the pancakes for about 3-4 minutes on each side, or until they turn golden brown and crispy. You may need to adjust the heat to prevent burning.

6. Once cooked, transfer the potato pancakes to a paper towel-lined plate to drain any excess oil.

7. Serve the cheesy potato pancakes hot, accompanied by sour cream, applesauce, or your favorite dipping sauce. Enjoy!

Additional Tips:

  • For extra flavor, consider adding chopped fresh herbs such as chives or parsley to the potato mixture.
  • You can vary the type of cheese used to suit your taste. Experiment with different combinations like mozzarella and Gruyere.
  • If you prefer a healthier version, you can bake the pancakes in the oven instead of frying them. Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C) and place the shaped pancakes on a greased baking sheet. Bake for about 20-25 minutes, flipping them halfway through.

Now that you have the recipe and tips, it’s time to channel your inner chef and start making these mouthwatering cheesy potato pancakes. They are sure to impress your family and friends with their irresistible taste and crispy texture. Enjoy!
