Cheesy Potato Pancakes Recipe By Tasty

CHEESY LEFTOVER MASHED POTATO PANCAKES

Steps:

• In a large bowl, stir together the mashed potatoes, cheese, scallions, egg and 3 tablespoons flour until combined. (See Kelly's Notes.) Using your hands, divide the mixture into 12 portions. Roll each portion into a compact ball then flatten it into a pancake about a 1/2-inch-thick.
• Place the remaining 1/2 cup of flour in a shallow dish and carefully dredge each pancake in the flour.
• Heat 3 to 4 tablespoons of vegetable oil in a large sauté pan over medium heat. (Add enough oil to thoroughly coat the bottom of the pan.)
• Fry the pancakes, in batches, until they're golden brown and crispy on both sides, 3 to 4 minutes. Add more oil to the pan as needed between batches. (Do not overcrowd the pan and do not flip the pancakes too soon or they won't develop a crisp crust.) Transfer the pancakes to a paper towel-lined plate and immediately sprinkle them with salt.
• Serve the potato pancakes topped with sour cream and garnished with additional chopped scallions.

Steps:

• Fill a 5 Qt pot with water. Add 1 Tbsp salt and peeled quartered russet potatoes (2 lbs or about 7 medium potatoes, peeled and quartered). Cook until easily pierced with fork. Drain well and mash in 4 Tbsp butter then let cool to room temp. Mashed potatoes can be made 1 - 3 days ahead.
• In a large mixing bowl, combine 4 cups mashed potatoes, 2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese, 1 large egg, 1/4 cup flour and 2 Tbsp chopped chives. Use a potato masher to mash the mixture together until well mixed. If the potatoes are too loose to hold a patty shape, add flour a Tablespoon at a time.
• Place a heaping tablespoonful of potato mixture between your palms and form into a round, 1/3" thick patty. Dredge both sides of the pancake in bread crumbs and set on a cutting board. Repeat with remaining pancakes.
• Heat a large non-stick pan over medium heat with enough oil to lightly cover the bottom of the pan. Once oil is hot, add patties in a single layer and sauté 3-4 minutes per side or until golden brown. Repeat with remaining patties, adding more oil as needed. I usually have 2 skillets going at once to finish sooner.

CHEESY LEFTOVER MASHED POTATO PANCAKES

Steps:

• POTATO PANCAKES
• In a large bowl, add all of the ingredients.
• Stir them all together to combine. Set aside and prep the sauce (if you're using this sauce, if you're not, go ahead and skip over to frying them in pan).
• AIOLI SAUCE
• In a medium bowl, add the sauce ingredients. Stir them all together and combine well. Taste and season with salt and pepper, as needed.Set out a medium bowl. Measure all the ingredients into the bowl.
• Cover and refrigerate until ready to use.
• Refrigerate for up to 1 week.
• In a large bowl, mix all of the ingredients together until well combined.
• The mixture should be thick and should hold its shape. If it's not thick enough, add a tablespoon of flour at a time (depending on the consistency of your mashed potatoes)
• COOK POTATO PANCAKES
• Use an ice cream scoop or spoon, scoop out the mixture into 6 portions. Roll each portion into a ball and form it into patties or cakes which are about 1/2- inch in thickness.
• Place remaining flour in a shallow dish and dredge each pancake lightly in flour; set aside.
• Heat the oil in a large skillet (cast iron is great for this recipe if you have one) on medium heat. Make sure you use enough oil to coat the entire bottom of the pan (start with 4 tablespoons and if not enough, add a bit more).
• Add the potato pancakes into the hot oil, three at a time, don't overcrowd the pan. Gently flatten with the back of a rubber spatula.
• Cook the patties until bottom is browned and sides are set.
• Carefully flip the pancakes and cook for another 3 to 4 minutes, until browned and cooked through.
• When you flip, be sure that the entire spatula is under the pancake. If you use just the front of the spatula you'll end up breaking the pancake as you flip it. You have to fully support the entire underside of the pancake to make a nice flip.
• Repeat with the rest of the patties .
• Serve immediately with the aioli sauce or sour cream (use your favorite dairy-free if you're dairy-free).
• These potato pancakes are best served hot. But they're also still delicious warm.

CHEESY LEFTOVER MASHED POTATO PANCAKES

Steps:

• Add the leftover mashed potatoes to a large bowl. They shouldn't be cold from the fridge if you can help it - let them stand at room temperature for 30 minutes before adding any other ingredients OR mash them up well again to break up the clumps with a warm potato masher.
• Add the cheese, flour, green onion, bacon or ham, eggs, garlic powder, thyme, and salt and pepper.
• Stir all the ingredients together very well until everything is fully incorporated and the mixture is smooth.
• Form the mixture into 12 patties about 1.5 centimetres thick.
• Heat a large non-stick skillet over medium heat and add a small amount of vegetable oil (around 1-2 teaspoons).
• Fry the patties in batches (don't overcrowd your skillet!) for about 5 minutes per side or until golden brown and completely cooked through.
• Enjoy warm with a dollop of sour cream, some more sliced green onions, and some extra cheese, if desired.

CHEESY POTATO PANCAKES

Steps:

• Slice the cheese into thin 1-inch (2.5cm) squares. Set aside.
• Thinly slice the scallions.
• Grate the potatoes preferably on a box grater. (If using a food processor, make sure to pulse the shredded potatoes with the blade attachment to cut the long strands.)
• Soak the grated potatoes in a cold water for about 10 minutes. Drain and squeeze out as much water as you can.
• In a large bowl, combine the grated potatoes, sliced scallions, garlic, eggs, flour, salt and pepper. Mix well.
• Add about 1/4-inch oil into a frying pan and heat over medium high heat.
• Drop about 1 heaping tablespoon of potato mixture into the oil (I use this medium cookie scoop for this step), flatten the mixture and place a slice of cheese in the middle. Cover the cheese with a little bit of potato mixture (about ½ tablespoon of mixture).
• Cook about 3-4 pancakes at a time, and don't overcrowd the pan. Cook the pancakes about 3 minutes on each side, or until the pancakes are cooked through and golden brown. Remove the pancakes on paper towel to drain.
• Serve warm with sour cream. (Also smoked salmon makes a great addition to these pancakes.)

CHEESY PARMESAN POTATO PANCAKES

Steps:

• 1. In a large bowl add the cold mashed potatoes, flour, and chopped chive. Add salt and pepper. Stir to blend together.
• 2. Now add in the garlic juice, about half of the milk, and large egg. Stir until blended together. Instead of grated onions, I chose to use pure garlic juice I had ordered from Amazon.
• 3. Now add in the Parmesan cheese shreds and stir again.
• 4. Add additional milk if you prefer a thinner pancake.
• 5. Add olive or canola oil to large skillet and heat over medium-high heat. Then using a scoop or large spoon, spoon batter into the heated skillet. Allow to cook about 3-4 minutes per side till golden brown.
• 6. Remove from skillet top with butter, and sour cream or apple sauce, or both if desired while they are still hot. Serve and enjoy.
