Cheesy Potato Pancakes

Instructions

1. 1

   Peel and grate the potatoes using a box grater. Squeeze out excess moisture using a clean kitchen towel or cheesecloth.

2. 2

   In a large bowl, combine the grated potatoes, egg, all-purpose flour, baking powder, grated cheddar cheese, salt, and black pepper. Mix well until all ingredients are evenly incorporated.

3. 3

   Heat the vegetable oil in a large non-stick skillet over medium heat.

4. 4

   Scoop about 2 tablespoons of the potato mixture and form it into a small pancake. Place it in the hot skillet. Repeat with the remaining mixture, cooking in batches if necessary.

5. 5

   Cook the pancakes for about 3-4 minutes on each side, or until they are golden brown and crispy.

6. 6

   Remove the pancakes from the skillet and drain on paper towels to remove excess oil.

7. 7

   Serve the cheesy potato pancakes warm, garnished with your choice of toppings such as sour cream or chives.
