Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 medium Russet potatoes
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 0.25 cup All-purpose flour
- 1 large Egg
- 1 cup shredded Cheddar cheese
- 2 stalks finely chopped Green onion
- 0.5 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 0.25 cup Vegetable oil
- 0.5 cup Sour cream
Instructions
Peel the potatoes and grate them using a coarse grater. Place the grated potatoes in a clean kitchen towel and squeeze out as much moisture as possible.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the grated potatoes, salt, black pepper, flour, egg, shredded cheddar cheese, chopped green onion, and garlic powder. Mix well until evenly combined.
Heat a large skillet over medium heat and add vegetable oil. Once the oil is hot, scoop about 2 tablespoons of the potato mixture into the skillet for each pancake and flatten gently with a spatula to form a round, even shape.
Cook the pancakes for 3–4 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and crispy. Work in batches, adding more oil to the pan if necessary.
Transfer the cooked pancakes to a paper towel-lined plate to drain any excess oil.
Serve the cheesy potato pancakes warm with a dollop of sour cream on top. Garnish with additional green onions if desired.
