Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 medium Russet potatoes
- 1 Egg
- 3 tablespoons All-purpose flour
- 1 cup (shredded) Gouda cheese
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Onion powder
- 1 teaspoon (or to taste) Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 0.25 cup (for frying) Vegetable oil
- 2 tablespoons (chopped, optional for garnish) Fresh parsley
Instructions
Peel the potatoes and grate them using the large holes of a box grater. Place the grated potatoes in a clean kitchen towel and squeeze out as much excess moisture as possible.
Transfer the grated potatoes to a large mixing bowl. Add the egg, all-purpose flour, shredded Gouda cheese, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper.
Mix everything together until well combined, ensuring that the potatoes are evenly coated with the other ingredients.
Heat the vegetable oil in a large non-stick skillet over medium heat. Use enough oil to coat the bottom of the pan.
Scoop about 1/4 cup of the potato mixture and shape it into a patty with your hands. Gently place the patty into the hot oil. Repeat with more of the mixture, cooking the pancakes in batches to avoid overcrowding the skillet.
Fry the potato pancakes for 3-4 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and crispy. Adjust the heat as needed to prevent burning.
Once cooked, transfer the pancakes to a plate lined with paper towels to absorb excess oil.
Serve the Gouda potato pancakes warm, garnished with chopped parsley if desired. They pair well with sour cream or applesauce on the side.
