🧀 Cheesy Potato Pancakes Recipe (Crispy & Golden)

Ingredients:

• 2 large potatoes – boiled, peeled, and mashed (around 2 cups)
• 2 egg yolks – helps bind the mixture and adds richness
• ½ cup grated cheese – mozzarella, cheddar, or a mix for extra flavor
• 3 tablespoons breadcrumbs – for structure and slight crunch
• 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley – adds freshness and color
• Salt and black pepper – to taste
• Oil for frying – any neutral cooking oil (like sunflower or canola)

🥣 Preparation Steps:

Step 1: Boil and Mash the Potatoes

• Wash and peel the potatoes.
• Boil them in salted water until fork-tender (about 15–20 minutes).
• Drain well and let them cool slightly to remove excess moisture.
• Mash until smooth — no lumps!

Step 2: Make the Mixture

• In a large mixing bowl, add:
  • Mashed potatoes
  • Egg yolks
  • Grated cheese
  • Breadcrumbs
  • Chopped parsley
  • Salt and pepper
• Mix everything together using a spoon or your hands until the mixture becomes smooth and slightly sticky.

💡 Tip: If the mixture feels too soft, add an extra tablespoon of breadcrumbs.

Step 3: Shape the Pancakes

• Divide the mixture into equal portions (about 8–10 pieces).
• Roll each portion into a ball, then flatten gently to form round patties (about ½ inch thick).
• Place them on a tray or plate lined with parchment paper.

🍳 Step 4: Cook the Pancakes

• Heat 2–3 tablespoons of oil in a nonstick skillet over medium heat.
• Place the potato pancakes in the skillet without crowding.
• Cook each side for 3–4 minutes or until golden brown and crispy.
• Flip carefully using a spatula.
• Once cooked, remove them and place on paper towels to absorb excess oil.
