Ingredients

  • 2 Large Russet or Baking Potatoes peeled and grated
  • ½ Onion grated
  • ½ cup White Cheddar Cheese grated
  • 2 cloves Garlic minced
  • ½ cup Flour
  • 1 tsp Baking Powder
  • 2 Eggs
  • Peanut Oil
  • Salt & Pepper to taste

Instructions

  • Place the grated potato, onion, cheddar, garlic, flour, baking powder and eggs in a large bowl. Combine ingredients until mixed thoroughly (using your hands is easiest).
  • In a large skillet, heat up the peanut oil. Use enough to cover the entire base of the pan. Once the oil is hot, take a golf ball sized-amount of the mixture and place it in the hot oil. After about 1 minute, flatten with a spatula.
  • Once flattened, let cook for about 2 minutes (until brown). Flip over and let the other side brown up and cook through.
  • Remove from hot oil and let drain on a paper towel. Serve warm with cool sour cream and enjoy!
