Ingredients

Scale

For the Pancakes:

  • 4 medium-sized potatoes, peeled and grated
  • 2 large eggs
  • 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour (or cornstarch for gluten-free)
  • 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
  • Salt and pepper, to taste

For the Filling:

  • 1 pound ground beef
  • 1 small onion, finely chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1/2 teaspoon paprika
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground cumin
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 cup shredded mozzarella or cheddar cheese

Additional:

  • Vegetable oil, for frying
  • Chopped fresh parsley (optional, for garnish)

Instructions

  • Prepare the Pancakes:
    Grate the potatoes and squeeze out the excess liquid using a clean kitchen towel or cheesecloth. In a bowl, combine the grated potatoes, eggs, flour, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Mix well to form the batter.
  • Cook the Filling:
    Heat a skillet over medium heat and cook the ground beef until browned. Add the chopped onion and minced garlic, cooking until softened. Season with paprika, cumin, salt, and pepper. Remove from heat and let it cool slightly.
  • Assemble:
    Take a handful of the potato mixture and flatten it into a thin pancake shape. Add a spoonful of the beef filling and a sprinkle of shredded cheese on top. Cover with another layer of the potato mixture and seal the edges, forming a pocket.
  • Cook the Pancakes:
    Heat vegetable oil in a skillet over medium heat. Carefully place the filled pancakes into the pan and cook until golden brown on each side, about 3-4 minutes per side.
  • Serve:
    Garnish with fresh parsley, if desired, and serve hot.

Notes

  • For a gluten-free option, substitute the all-purpose flour with cornstarch or a gluten-free flour blend.
  • You can use other types of cheese, such as cheddar, for a different flavor.
  • These pancakes can also be made ahead and reheated in the skillet for a crispy texture.
