Ingredients
  

4 large russet potatoes, peeled and diced

1 cup all-purpose flour

1 large egg

1 teaspoon salt

½ teaspoon black pepper

1 cup shredded cheddar cheese (or your favorite cheese)

½ cup cream cheese, softened

1 tablespoon fresh chives, chopped (optional)

½ cup breadcrumbs

Oil for frying (e.g., vegetable or canola oil)

Instructions
 

Cook the Potatoes: Place the diced potatoes in a pot of boiling salted water. Cook until tender (about 15-20 minutes). Drain and let them cool slightly.

    Mash the Potatoes: In a large mixing bowl, mash the cooked potatoes until smooth. Allow to cool completely.

      Make the Pancake Batter: Add flour, egg, salt, and pepper to the mashed potatoes. Mix until well combined and a dough forms. The dough should be slightly sticky but manageable.

        Prepare the Cheese Filling: In a separate bowl, combine the shredded cheddar cheese, cream cheese, and chives (if using). Mix until well blended and creamy.

          Form the Pancakes: Take a small portion of the potato dough (about the size of a golf ball) and flatten it in the palm of your hand. Place a spoonful of the cheesy mixture in the center. Carefully fold the potato dough over the filling and form it into a patty, ensuring the cheese is fully enclosed. Repeat with the remaining dough and filling.

            Coat the Pancakes: Roll each stuffed pancake in breadcrumbs to coat evenly. This will give them a nice crispy texture when fried.

              Fry the Pancakes: Heat about ½ inch of oil in a frying pan over medium-high heat. Once hot, carefully add the stuffed pancakes, a few at a time, being sure not to overcrowd the pan. Fry for about 4-5 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and crispy. Transfer to a plate lined with paper towels to drain excess oil.

                Serve Warm: Serve the cheesy stuffed potato pancakes warm with a side of sour cream or your favorite dipping sauce. Enjoy your delightful treat!
