CHEESY POTATO PANCAKES RECIPE (VIDEO)

Steps:

• Fill a 5 Qt pot with water. Add 1 Tbsp salt and peeled quartered russet potatoes (2 lbs or about 7 medium potatoes, peeled and quartered). Cook until easily pierced with fork. Drain well and mash in 4 Tbsp butter then let cool to room temp. Mashed potatoes can be made 1 - 3 days ahead.
• In a large mixing bowl, combine 4 cups mashed potatoes, 2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese, 1 large egg, 1/4 cup flour and 2 Tbsp chopped chives. Use a potato masher to mash the mixture together until well mixed. If the potatoes are too loose to hold a patty shape, add flour a Tablespoon at a time.
• Place a heaping tablespoonful of potato mixture between your palms and form into a round, 1/3" thick patty. Dredge both sides of the pancake in bread crumbs and set on a cutting board. Repeat with remaining pancakes.
• Heat a large non-stick pan over medium heat with enough oil to lightly cover the bottom of the pan. Once oil is hot, add patties in a single layer and sauté 3-4 minutes per side or until golden brown. Repeat with remaining patties, adding more oil as needed. I usually have 2 skillets going at once to finish sooner.

CHEESY LEFTOVER MASHED POTATO PANCAKES

Steps:

• Combine the mashed potatoes, cheese, scallions, egg and 3 tablespoons of the flour in a large bowl (see Cook's Note). With your hands, divide the mixture into 12 portions. Roll each portion into a compact ball, and then flatten it into a pancake about 1/2-inch thick.
• Put the remaining 1/2 cup flour in a shallow dish and carefully coat each pancake in the flour.
• Heat 3 to 4 tablespoons of oil in a large saute pan over medium heat. (Add enough oil to thoroughly coat the bottom of the pan.)
• Fry the pancakes, in batches, until they're golden brown and crispy on both sides, 3 to 4 minutes. Add more oil to the pan as needed between batches. (Do not overcrowd the pan and do not flip the pancakes too soon or they won't develop a crisp crust.) Transfer the pancakes to a paper towel-lined plate and immediately sprinkle them with salt.
• Serve the potato pancakes topped with sour cream and garnished with additional chopped scallions.

CHEESY POTATO PANCAKES

Steps:

• Slice the cheese into thin 1-inch (2.5cm) squares. Set aside.
• Thinly slice the scallions.
• Grate the potatoes preferably on a box grater. (If using a food processor, make sure to pulse the shredded potatoes with the blade attachment to cut the long strands.)
• Soak the grated potatoes in a cold water for about 10 minutes. Drain and squeeze out as much water as you can.
• In a large bowl, combine the grated potatoes, sliced scallions, garlic, eggs, flour, salt and pepper. Mix well.
• Add about 1/4-inch oil into a frying pan and heat over medium high heat.
• Drop about 1 heaping tablespoon of potato mixture into the oil (I use this medium cookie scoop for this step), flatten the mixture and place a slice of cheese in the middle. Cover the cheese with a little bit of potato mixture (about ½ tablespoon of mixture).
• Cook about 3-4 pancakes at a time, and don't overcrowd the pan. Cook the pancakes about 3 minutes on each side, or until the pancakes are cooked through and golden brown. Remove the pancakes on paper towel to drain.
• Serve warm with sour cream. (Also smoked salmon makes a great addition to these pancakes.)
