How to Make Cheese And Potato Pancakes

  1. 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.
  2. 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.
  3. In a large bowl, combine the squeezed potatoes, grated cheese, egg, flour, and finely chopped onion. Season generously with salt and pepper.
  4. Heat a tablespoon of oil in a large skillet or griddle over medium heat.
  5. Drop spoonfuls of the potato mixture into the hot oil, flattening slightly with the back of the spoon to form 3-4 inch pancakes.
  6. Cook for 3-4 minutes per side, or until golden brown and crispy.
  7. Remove the pancakes from the skillet and place them on a plate lined with paper towels to absorb any excess oil.
  8. Serve immediately with your favorite sour cream or applesauce. Enjoy!
