Parmesan Herb Potato Pancakes

Parmesan Herb Potato Pancakes combine mashed potatoes with grated Parmesan, chopped herbs, and onion to form golden, crispy cakes. Dredging the patties in flour before pan-frying in canola oil creates a crunchy outer crust while maintaining a soft, flavorful interior. These savory pancakes are satisfying as a side dish or snack, served best with sour cream for added richness.

Description

This recipe mixes mashed potatoes with Parmesan cheese, lightly beaten egg, grated or green onion, and fresh parsley. A portion of flour is incorporated into the mixture and an additional amount is used for dredging shaped pancakes before cooking. The cakes are sautéed in canola oil over medium-high heat until golden brown on both sides, which usually takes 2-3 minutes per side.

The cooking method ensures a contrast between the crispy exterior and tender interior showcasing the herb and cheese flavor melded with the potatoes. Serving with a dollop of sour cream adds creaminess and complements the savory notes of Parmesan and herbs.

Potato pancakes like these can accompany breakfast, lunch, or dinner and work well as a side to meat or vegetable dishes. The recipe relies on standard pantry ingredients and simple technique for producing an enjoyable texture and flavor balance.
