Ingredients
For the Potato Pancakes
- 4 Potatoes medium-sized, peeled and chopped
- 1 cup Mozzarella Cheese shredded
- 2 tbsp Corn Flour
- 1.5 tsp Salt or to taste
- 1/2 tsp Pepper black, freshly ground, or to taste
- 2 tbsp Vegetable Oil or your preferred cooking oil
Instructions
Prepare the Potatoes
- Pressure cook the chopped potatoes with enough water to cover for 2 whistles. Allow the pressure to release naturally. Peel and mash the cooked potatoes thoroughly.
Mix the Pancake Batter
- In a large bowl, combine the mashed potatoes, shredded mozzarella cheese, cornflour, salt, and pepper. Mix well until a soft, slightly sticky dough forms.
Cook the Pancakes
- Heat a lightly oiled griddle or frying pan over medium heat. Take a portion of the potato mixture (about 1/4 cup), flatten it gently into a small pancake, and place it on the hot griddle.
- Drizzle a little oil over the pancake.
- Cook for approximately 2 minutes per side, or until golden brown and crispy. Flip carefully when the edges start to brown.
Serve
- Remove the cooked pancakes from the griddle and serve immediately. Enjoy with ketchup, sour cream, or your favorite dipping sauce!
Recipe Notes
Expert Tips for Perfect Cheesy Potato Pancakes
- For extra crispy pancakes, ensure the potatoes are well-mashed to remove excess moisture.
- Don't overcrowd the pan when cooking. Cook in batches to ensure even browning and crisping.
- If the mixture seems too dry, add a tablespoon of milk or water at a time until you reach a workable consistency.
- Experiment with different cheeses! A blend of cheddar and mozzarella, or even some parmesan, would be delicious.
