Quick to prepare in under an hour, these golden potato pockets are a must-try for fans of indulgent comfort food recipes!
Peel and grate the potatoes using the small holes of a box grater. Place the grated potatoes in a clean kitchen towel and squeeze out as much liquid as possible.
Transfer the grated potatoes to a large bowl. Add the flour, egg, salt, and black pepper. Mix thoroughly to combine and form a dough-like consistency.
In a skillet, heat 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil over medium heat. Add the finely diced onion and minced garlic. Sauté until soft and fragrant, about 2-3 minutes.
Add the ground beef to the skillet. Stir in the paprika and cook until the meat is browned and fully cooked, about 5-7 minutes. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.
Divide the potato mixture into 8 equal portions. Flatten each portion into a small pancake shape in your hands. Place a tablespoon of the beef filling in the center of each pancake, then fold the edges over to encase the filling and shape into a patty.
Heat the remaining 2 tablespoons of vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Working in batches, place the stuffed potato pancakes in the skillet and cook for 3-4 minutes per side, or until golden brown and crispy.
Transfer the cooked pancakes to a plate lined with paper towels to drain any excess oil. Repeat with the remaining pancakes.
Garnish with chopped parsley, if desired, and serve warm with a dollop of sour cream.
