How to Make Cheese And Potato Pancakes
- Peel and grate the potatoes. Place the grated potatoes in a large bowl and add 1 teaspoon of salt. Let sit for 10 minutes to drain excess moisture.
- Squeeze out as much excess moisture as possible from the grated potatoes using a clean kitchen towel or cheesecloth. This step is crucial for crispy pancakes.
- In a large bowl, combine the squeezed potatoes, grated cheese, egg, flour, and finely chopped onion. Season generously with salt and pepper.
- Heat a tablespoon of oil in a large skillet or griddle over medium heat.
- Drop spoonfuls of the potato mixture into the hot oil, flattening slightly with the back of the spoon to form 3-4 inch pancakes.
- Cook for 3-4 minutes per side, or until golden brown and crispy.
- Remove the pancakes from the skillet and place them on a plate lined with paper towels to absorb any excess oil.
- Serve immediately with your favorite sour cream or applesauce. Enjoy!
