Cheesy Potato Pancake


A good old fashioned pancake is prepared from a batter made from flour, eggs, sugar, milk, baking powder and butter. However, we can add many other ingredients to make the pancake that we would like to eat. Adding pumpkin puree to the batter will yield a beautiful golden yellow pumpkin pancake. We can also add banana, cocoa powder, cheese, blueberry, oats, apple and many more to make various kinds of delicious pancakes for our family.

As the name implies, Cheesy Potato Pancake is made by adding cheese and potato to the pancake batter. It is crispy on the outside and soft on the inside.


Ingredients:
  • 450 - 500 g potatoes
  • 3 stalks of green onions, chopped
  • 75 g grated Mozzarella cheese
  • 3 cloves garlic, chopped
  • 2 eggs
  • 40 g all-purpose flour
  • 2 tsp salt (can be more according to taste)
  • 2 tsp black pepper powder (can be more according to taste)
  • Cooking oil
  • Dipping sauce:
    • A bowl of mayonnaise
    • A dash or 2 of paprika
    • Black pepper powder, according to taste

Method:
  • Grate the potatoes lengthwise (as thin as possible so that it can cook easily).

  • Put the grated potatoes into a muslin bag.
  • Squeeze out as much water as possible from the potatoes so that the pancake will not be soggy.


  • Put potatoes into a mixing bowl.
  • Add green onions, cheese, garlic, eggs, all-purpose flour, salt and pepper to the mixing bowl.
  • Stir to mix up all the ingredients.

  • Heat up a pan with some cooking oil.
  • Scoop a round spoonful of batter into the pan.
  • Flatten the batter so that the resultant pancake will be crispy on the outside and soft on the inside.
  • When the underside has turned golden brown, flip the pancake to the other side.
  • Remove the pancake when both sides are golden brown
