Cozy Crispy Cheese Pancakes

Crispy Cheddar Potato Pancakes

Today, I’m excited to share a recipe that always reminds me of cozy winter nights by the fire. These crispy cheddar potato pancakes are the perfect combination of comfort and flavor, making them ideal for a chilly evening at home. The cheesy goodness and crunchy texture are sure to warm you up from the inside out.

Ingredients:

• 3 large potatoes (about 600g)
• 100g cheddar cheese, shredded
• 1 small onion, grated
• 1 egg
• 50g breadcrumbs
• 1 tsp salt
• 1/2 tsp black pepper
• 2 tbsp olive oil

Kitchen Tools:

• grater
• mixing bowl
• skillet
• spatula

Start by peeling and grating the potatoes into a large mixing bowl. Squeeze out any excess moisture from the grated potatoes using a clean kitchen towel. Add in the shredded cheddar cheese, grated onion, egg, breadcrumbs, salt, and black pepper. Mix everything together until well combined.

Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Take a small handful of the potato mixture and form it into a pancake shape. Place it gently in the hot skillet and flatten it with a spatula. Cook for about 4-5 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and crispy.

Once cooked, remove the potato pancakes from the skillet and let them drain on a paper towel to absorb any excess oil. Serve hot and crispy, garnished with a dollop of sour cream or applesauce if desired.

This recipe makes approximately 6 potato pancakes, with each serving weighing around 150g. One serving of these crispy cheddar potato pancakes is about 250 calories.

A unique tip for this dish is to add a sprinkle of smoked paprika to the potato mixture before cooking. It adds a subtle smoky flavor that pairs perfectly with the cheesy potatoes.

I hope you give these crispy cheddar potato pancakes a try! Feel free to tweak the recipe to your liking and make it your own. Enjoy the delicious combination of cheese, potatoes, and crunch in every bite.
