Parmesan Herb Potato Pancakes
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.
