Ingredients
- 500 g of potatoes
- 80 g cheese (cheddar or edam), grated
- 2 eggs
- 1 clove of garlic
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Frying oil
Method
1) Preparing the potatoes: Wash the potatoes thoroughly and boil them in salted water for approximately 15 minutes until they are semi-soft. After cooking, drain the potatoes, let them cool and peel them. Grate them on a coarse grater.
2) Preparation of the mixture: Add grated cheese, eggs, crushed garlic, salt and pepper to the bowl with the grated potatoes. Mix everything thoroughly to create a homogeneous mixture.
3) Shaping and frying patties: Heat enough oil in a pan. Form small patties from the potato mixture and place them on a hot pan. Fry the pancakes on both sides until golden brown, about 2-3 minutes on each side, until they are crispy and completely cooked.
4) To serve: Remove the finished pancakes from the pan and let them drain on paper towels to remove excess oil. Serve pancakes warm as a main course or as a side dish.
