Description
These golden potato pancakes are filled with savory beef and melty cheese, providing a warm, satisfying bite with a crispy exterior and soft interior.
Ingredients
Scale
- 4 large potatoes, peeled and grated
- 1 onion, finely chopped
- 1 cup cooked ground beef
- 1 cup shredded cheese (e.g., cheese of choice)
- 1 egg
- 1 cup flour
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Oil for frying
Instructions
- In a bowl, mix the grated potatoes, chopped onion, egg, flour, salt, and pepper to form the batter. After grating, squeeze the potatoes in a clean kitchen towel to remove excess moisture.
- Preheat oil in a frying pan over medium heat. Use a neutral oil with a high smoke point.
- Take a portion of the potato mixture, flatten it in your hand, add a spoonful of ground beef and cheese in the center, and fold the potato mixture over to seal. Chill formed patties on a tray for 10 minutes.
- Place the stuffed pancake in the hot oil and fry until golden brown on both sides. Remove and drain on paper towels. Serve warm.
Notes
Serve hot with a simple green salad or dipping sauces like sour cream or spicy ketchup. For parties, consider making bite-sized versions.
