Recipe Tips

1.The thinner the potato slices, the crispier the pancake will be.

2.Rinsing the potato slices helps remove excess starch, preventing sticking during frying and giving the final product a lighter texture.

3.Fry the potato pancake on low heat to avoid burning the outside while leaving the inside raw. After flipping, increase the heat to medium for a crispier exterior.

4.Try not to flip the potato slices too often during frying. Wait until the bottom is set before flipping to prevent the slices from falling apart.

5.Mozzarella cheese is the best choice for its excellent melting and stringiness, adding a rich texture to the pancake. If unavailable, other melting cheeses can be used as a substitute.

6.Be quick when adding the cheese, so the pancake doesn't cool and lose its crispy texture.

How to Store Leftover Potato Cheese Pancakes?

Let the pancakes cool, then seal them in an airtight container and refrigerate. They can be stored for 2-3 days.

For longer storage, you can freeze them for up to 1-2 months. To reheat, bake in a 375°F (190°C) oven for 10-15 minutes or until crispy.

Can I Reheat These Potato Cheese Pancakes?

Yes, I usually like to re-fry them so they regain their crispiness.

You can also heat them in an air fryer or oven for a few minutes.

I wouldn't recommend using a microwave as it could soften the pancakes, affecting the texture.

Serving Suggestions

1.Best served hot:

The ideal time to enjoy these potato cheese pancakes is right after they’re made when the exterior is crispy and the cheese is melted and stretchy.

If left to cool, the crust may soften, and the cheese may solidify, impacting the flavor.

2.Pairing Suggestions:

Sauces: Pair with tomato ketchup, yogurt sauce, or honey mustard for a tangy contrast to the potato's mild flavor.

Salad: A fresh vegetable salad can complement the richness of the pancakes, adding a healthy boost and a refreshing balance.

Beverage: It pairs well with hot milk, soy milk, or fruit juice, making it a perfect breakfast or afternoon snack.

3.If served as a main meal, pair with some vegetables or lean meat for a more balanced meal. If served as a snack, 1-2 pieces are recommended.

4.For those on a diet, you can opt for low-fat cheese and reduce the oil used for frying to make it a healthier, low-calorie option.

Recipe Variations

1.Add other ingredients: Besides cheese, you can stuff the pancakes with fried eggs, ham, bacon, or fresh vegetables to make a “Potato Pancake Sandwich” for a more nutrient-packed option.

2.Vegan version: Replace mozzarella cheese with vegan cheese (such as cashew cheese or almond cheese). You can also add 1/4 cup of chopped nuts (like almonds or walnuts) for extra texture and nutrition.

3.Gluten-free version: Swap the potato starch with tapioca flour or cornstarch to make the dish gluten-free. Use gluten-free parsley flakes or other gluten-free seasonings.
