Ingredients

Servings
  • 2 pounds russet potato peeled and cubed, or Yukon Gold potato
  • 3/4 cup milk divided
  • 2 tablespoons butter
  • 1 cup flour
  • 1 egg lightly beaten, large
  • salt freshly ground, to taste
  • black pepper freshly ground, to taste
  • 7 ounces cheddar cheese shredded or cubed, irish
  • 1/4 cup chives chopped
  • olive oil for pan frying

Instructions

  1. Place cubed potatoes in a saucepan and cover with salted water. Bring to the stove, over medium high heat, and bring to a boil. Once boiling, reduce the heat to low and simmer until tender, about 10 minutes. Drain the potatoes and transfer to a large bowl. Add 1/2 cup milk and butter, and mash until smooth.
  2. Add the remaining milk, flour, egg, salt, pepper, cheese and chopped chives to the mashed potatoes, stirring to combine.
  3. Preheat a large nonstick skiller, over medium heat. Add the olive oil and, once shimmering, pour about 1/4 cup of the pancake batter, using a spatula to form 3-inch circles. Cook the pancakes (working in batches) until golden brown, about 5 minutes per side. As they cook (and the cheese melts), you might need to gently nudge them with the spatula, encouraging them to keep a round form.
  4. Serve immediately, topped with sour cream and chives.

Notes

  • Avoid checking the doneness of the pancakes bottoms for at least 2 minutes, or they might stick.
  • The pancakes can be frozen, after they are cooked, for up to 2 months. When ready to eat, place them frozen on a baking sheet and reheat in a 400 degrees F oven for 15 to 20 minutes.
