Potatoes Mozzarella Pancakes are a delicious dish that combines grated potatoes and mozzarella cheese to create savory pancakes. Here’s a quick rundown of how they are typically made:
- Ingredients: You’ll need grated potatoes, shredded mozzarella cheese, eggs, flour (or breadcrumbs), salt, and pepper. Some recipes also include herbs or spices for added flavor.
- Preparation: Start by squeezing out excess moisture from the grated potatoes to ensure the pancakes are crispy. Then, mix the potatoes with mozzarella, eggs, and flour until you have a batter.
- Cooking: Heat some oil in a skillet over medium heat. Spoon the potato mixture into the skillet, flattening it into pancake shapes. Cook until golden brown on both sides.
- Serving: These pancakes are often served hot and can be enjoyed on their own or with toppings like sour cream, yogurt, or a side of applesauce.
Here’s an easy recipe for Potatoes Mozzarella Pancakes:
Ingredients:
- 2 large potatoes (about 1 pound)
- 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- 1 large egg
- 1/2 cup all-purpose flour (or breadcrumbs)
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Oil for frying
Instructions:
- Prep the Potatoes: Peel the potatoes and grate them using a box grater or a food processor. Place the grated potatoes in a clean kitchen towel and squeeze out as much moisture as possible.
- Mix Ingredients: In a large bowl, combine the grated potatoes, shredded mozzarella, egg, flour, salt, and pepper. Mix well until everything is combined.
- Heat the Pan: In a skillet, heat about 1/4 inch of oil over medium heat.
- Form Pancakes: Scoop about 1/4 cup of the potato mixture and shape it into a pancake. Carefully place it in the hot oil. Repeat with the remaining mixture, making sure not to overcrowd the pan.
- Cook: Fry the pancakes for about 3-4 minutes on each side, or until they are golden brown and crispy. Adjust the heat as needed to prevent burning.
- Drain and Serve: Once cooked, transfer the pancakes to a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil. Serve hot with your favorite dipping sauce or toppings.
They’re crispy on the outside, cheesy on the inside, and make for a great snack or side dish! Enjoy
