Ingredients
Scale
- 4 large Russet potatoes
- 1 lb lean ground beef
- 1 medium onion, diced
- 1 cup cheddar cheese, shredded
- 2 large eggs, beaten
- ½ cup all-purpose flour
- 2 tsp garlic powder
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Vegetable oil for frying
Instructions
- Prepare the Potatoes: Peel and boil the potatoes until fork-tender (about 15 minutes). Drain and mash until smooth; let cool slightly.
- Cook the Filling: In a skillet over medium heat, sauté the diced onion until translucent (about 5 minutes). Add ground beef; cook until browned, breaking it apart with a spoon. Season with salt, pepper, and garlic powder.
- Mix the Batter: Combine cooled mashed potatoes with beaten eggs and flour in a mixing bowl until you achieve a dough-like consistency.
- Form the Pancakes: Take about ¼ cup of potato mixture, flatten it in your palm, place 2 tbsp of beef filling in the center, fold over, and seal tightly. Flatten gently into pancake shape.
- Fry: Heat oil in a skillet over medium-high heat (about ¼ inch deep). Fry each pancake for 3-4 minutes per side until golden brown and crispy. Drain on paper towels.
- Serve: Enjoy warm with sour cream or your favorite dipping sauce.
