Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 large russet potatoes
- 1 cup (shredded) cheddar cheese
- 0.5 cup plain all-purpose flour
- 1 large egg
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 2 tablespoons (for frying) vegetable oil
Instructions
Peel the russet potatoes and grate them using a box grater. Transfer the grated potatoes to a clean kitchen towel and squeeze out as much moisture as possible.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the grated potatoes, shredded cheddar cheese, flour, egg, and salt. Mix everything thoroughly until well combined.
Divide the mixture into 8 equal portions and shape each portion into a patty about ½-inch thick.
Heat the vegetable oil in a large non-stick skillet over medium heat. Once the oil is hot, carefully place 3-4 potato cakes in the skillet, making sure not to overcrowd.
Fry the potato cakes for 3-4 minutes on each side, or until they are golden brown and crispy. Adjust the heat as necessary to prevent burning.
Transfer the cooked potato cakes to a plate lined with paper towels to drain excess oil. Repeat the frying process with the remaining patties.
Serve the potato cakes warm with your favorite dips or as a side dish. Enjoy!
