- Totally vegetarian and nut free if you skip peanut oil
- Budget friendly and freezer friendly
- Customizable with different cheeses or spices
My favorite ingredient here is mozzarella because of how perfectly it melts inside these little potato cakes. I once made a double batch for my cousins and they still talk about those extra cheesy pockets now years later.
Storing Leftovers:
After frying potato cheese pancakes let them cool completely Then refrigerate in a sealed container for up to three days When you want to reheat place them in a nonstick pan over low heat or bake at 350 F until warmed through This method keeps them crisp outside and gooey inside
Simple Swaps:
No mozzarella Use any cheese that gets melty like cheddar or Monterey Jack For a bolder twist try smoked gouda or even add a sprinkle of chili flakes for some heat You can switch out regular flour for a gluten free blend and use vegetable oil instead of peanut oil if needed
How to Serve Potato Cheese Pancakes:
Potato cheese pancakes shine as a snack but work beautifully with soup or salad for lunch For a party platter serve mini versions with herbed yogurt or sour cream on the side My family sometimes likes them with a fried egg and chopped chives sprinkled over the top
