Ingredients
Scale
- 250 g peeled potatoes
- 50 g mozzarella cheese (shredded or cut into cubes)
- 20 g brown sugar
- 25 g cornstarch or cornflour
- Cooking oil (as needed for frying)
- A pinch of salt
Instructions
- Prepare the Potatoes: Peel and grate the potatoes. Squeeze out the excess water using a clean kitchen towel. This step ensures your pancakes are crispy.
- Mix the Batter: In a bowl, combine the grated potatoes, cornstarch, brown sugar, and a pinch of salt. Mix well until the ingredients come together. The mixture should be slightly sticky and moldable.
- Add Cheese Filling: Take a small portion of the potato mixture (about 2 tablespoons) and flatten it in your hand. Place a cube or a small amount of shredded mozzarella cheese in the center. Wrap the potato mixture around the cheese, forming a round patty. Repeat with the remaining mixture.
- Fry to Perfection: Heat a thin layer of cooking oil in a non-stick pan over medium heat. Place the patties into the pan and cook for 2-3 minutes on each side or until golden brown and crispy. Make sure the cheese inside melts thoroughly.
- Serve and Enjoy: Serve the pancakes hot for the ultimate cheesy pull and crispy texture. Optionally, pair them with a dipping sauce of your choice.
Notes
- Cheese Options: Use fresh mozzarella for the best melt or substitute with cheddar for a sharper flavor.
- Make Ahead: Assemble the patties in advance and refrigerate for up to 24 hours. Fry fresh when ready to serve.
- Leftovers: Store in an airtight container for up to 3 days. Reheat in a skillet for the best texture.
- Experiment with Sauces: Try dipping in honey mustard, spicy mayo, or a soy-sesame blend for extra flavor.
