Ingredients
- 2 large potatoes
- 1 Tbsp potato starch
- 100g mozzarella cheese (shredded)
- 1 handful shredded cheese (optional)
Cooking Instructions
Step 1
Prepare two large potatoes. This amount should yield about 5 potato pancakes.
Step 2
Using a mandoline slicer or a sharp knife, thinly julienne the potatoes. The thinner the shreds, the crispier the pancakes will be.
Step 3
Add 1 tablespoon of potato starch to the julienned potatoes.
Step 4
Gently mix the potatoes and potato starch together. The starch will help bind the mixture and enhance crispiness.
Step 5
Now, add in the mozzarella cheese and any other shredded cheese you have for extra savory flavor!
Step 6
If you don’t have shredded cheese, using just mozzarella is perfectly fine and will still be delicious.
Step 7
Heat a lightly oiled pan over medium heat. Spoon the potato mixture into the pan, spreading it thinly into a round shape. Cook until golden brown and crispy on both sides. Adjust heat as needed to prevent burning.
Step 8
As the potato pancakes cook, the wonderful aroma of melting cheese will fill your kitchen, whetting everyone’s appetite.
Step 9
With the addition of cheese, these potato pancakes offer a rich flavor that appeals to both children and adults.
Step 10
These Cheesy Potato Pancakes are crispy on the outside, tender on the inside, and delightfully cheesy – making them an ideal snack for kids. They are also a fantastic accompaniment to a cold beer for adults in the evening!
