Cheesy Potato Pancakes

Cheesy Potato Pancakes

These delicious pancakes are one of many favorite Irish recipes I love to make. Serve them warm by themselves or with eggs or omelets, or with sour cream.

What you need:

1 1/2 Quarts of prepared instant mashed potatoes, cooked, dry and cooled

1 1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese

4 eggs lightly beaten

1 1/2 cups of flour, divided

1 1/2 teaspoons of dried rosemary

1 1/2 teaspoons of dried thyme

1 dash of salt and pepper

2 eggs lightly beaten

What you need to do:

1. In a large mixing bowl, combine potatoes, cheese, 4 beaten eggs, 3/4 cup of flour and herbs. Mix well.

2. Cover with suran wrap and refrigerate for at least 4 hours before preparing.

3. When ready to prepare, put 3/4 cup of flour in a medium bowl and put 2 beaten eggs in a separate medium bowl.

4. Using two spoons, scoop up some potato batter and dip in beaten eggs, then dredge in flour. (excuse my chipped bowl!)

5. Place potato batter in frying pan and flatten with spoon. Cook each patty over medium heat 3 minutes per side or until crisp and golden brown.

6. Serve warm and enjoy!
