Instructions
Making Potato and Onion Cheese Pancakes is easy and fun. Follow these simple steps to create this delicious dish:
1. Prepare Potatoes: Peel and grate the potatoes using a box grater or food processor.
2. Remove Excess Water: Place the grated potatoes in a clean kitchen towel and squeeze out excess moisture. This step is crucial for achieving crispy pancakes.
3. Mix Onions: In a large bowl, add the finely chopped onions to the grated potatoes.
4. Add Cheese: Stir in the shredded cheese, ensuring an even distribution throughout the mixture.
5. Combine Wet Ingredients: In a separate bowl, beat the eggs and then add them to the potato mixture.
6. Mix Dry Ingredients: In another bowl, combine the flour, baking powder, salt, and black pepper.
7. Combine Mixtures: Gradually add the dry mixture to the wet mixture, stirring until well combined.
8. Heat the Pan: Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and add a tablespoon of oil or butter.
9. Form Pancakes: Scoop 1/4 cup of the mixture onto the skillet, flattening it slightly to form a pancake.
10. Cook: Fry until golden brown on one side (about 3-4 minutes), then flip and cook for another 3-4 minutes until both sides are crispy.
11. Repeat: Continue the process with the remaining mixture, adding more oil or butter as needed.
12. Serve Warm: Transfer the pancakes to a paper towel-lined plate to absorb excess oil. Serve warm.
