Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 large Russet potatoes
- 1 cup Shredded cheddar cheese
- 1 tablespoon Southwest seasoning blend
- 2 large Eggs
- 0.25 cup All-purpose flour
Instructions
Peel and grate the Russet potatoes into a large bowl. Place the grated potatoes in a clean kitchen towel or cheesecloth, and wring out as much water as possible to ensure the pancakes crisp up.
In a mixing bowl, combine the shredded potatoes, shredded cheddar cheese, southwest seasoning, eggs, and flour. Mix until all ingredients are evenly combined.
Heat a large non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat and lightly grease it with oil or cooking spray.
Scoop about 1/4 cup of the potato mixture and drop it onto the skillet. Flatten it slightly with the back of a spoon to form a pancake shape.
Cook each pancake for 3-4 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and crispy. Repeat with the remaining potato mixture, cooking in batches if necessary.
Transfer cooked pancakes to a paper towel-lined plate to drain any excess oil.
Serve warm with your favorite dipping sauce, salsa, or a dollop of sour cream. Enjoy!
