A mouthwatering combination of fluffy potato pancakes filled with savory beef and melted cheese, perfect for any meal.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 medium potatoes, peeled and grated
  • 2 large eggs
  • 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour (or cornstarch for gluten-free)
  • A dash of garlic powder
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 1 pound ground beef
  • 1 small onion, finely chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1/2 teaspoon paprika
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground cumin
  • 1 cup shredded mozzarella or cheddar cheese
  • Vegetable oil for frying
  • Chopped fresh parsley for garnish

Instructions

  1. Start by grating the potatoes in a large bowl. Squeeze out any excess liquid using a clean kitchen towel or cheesecloth. Then, add the eggs, flour, garlic powder, salt, and pepper to the bowl. Mix everything together until well combined.
  2. Heat a skillet over medium heat and add the ground beef. Brown the meat, breaking it up with a spatula. Once it’s no longer pink, add the chopped onion and minced garlic. Cook until softened, stirring occasionally, then sprinkle in the paprika, cumin, salt, and pepper. Remove from heat and let cool.
  3. Take a handful of the potato mixture and flatten it in your palm. Spoon a portion of the beef filling on top, sprinkle with cheese, cover with more potato mixture, and press the edges to seal.
  4. In a skillet, heat vegetable oil over medium heat. Carefully place the stuffed pancakes into the oil and fry each side for about 3-4 minutes or until golden brown and crispy.
  5. Once cooked, remove the pancakes and place on paper towels to drain excess oil. Garnish with chopped fresh parsley and serve hot.

Notes

Ensure grated potatoes are well-drained for crispy pancakes. Maintain the right oil temperature while frying to achieve golden-brown crust.
