Ingredients

Scale

4 medium Russet potatoes, peeled and grated
2 large eggs
2 tbsp flour (or cornstarch for gluten-free)
1/4 tsp garlic powder
Salt and black pepper to taste
1 lb ground beef
1 small onion, finely chopped
2 garlic cloves, minced
1/2 tsp paprika
1/4 tsp cumin
1 cup shredded mozzarella or cheddar cheese
Vegetable oil for frying
Fresh parsley for garnish

Instructions

In a skillet over medium heat, cook the ground beef with onion and garlic until browned and cooked through, then drain excess fat.
Stir in the paprika, cumin, salt, and pepper into the beef mixture and set aside to cool.
In a large bowl, mix the grated potatoes, eggs, flour, garlic powder, salt, and pepper until well combined.
Heat oil in a large non-stick pan over medium heat.
Place a large spoonful of the potato mixture into the pan and flatten slightly into a pancake.
Add a spoonful of the cooked beef mixture and a pinch of cheese onto the center of the potato pancake.
Cover the beef and cheese with another thin layer of the potato mixture, sealing the edges gently.
Fry for 5-7 minutes per side until golden brown and crispy.
Drain on paper towels and garnish with fresh parsley before serving.

Notes

Ensure you squeeze the moisture out of the grated potatoes using a clean kitchen towel before mixing; this is the secret to a crispy pancake. Use starchy Russet potatoes for the best structure. If you are making these gluten-free, substitute the flour with cornstarch easily.
