Potato Pancakes with Cheddar, Chives, and Cream Cheese in the Middle image

I have been making potato pancakes out of leftover mashed potatoes as long as I can remember. I jazzed these up a little for the Philly contest. These are cripsy on the outside, creamy and soft on the inside.

Time 30m

Number Of Ingredients 7

2 c mashed potatoes made with butter, milk salt and pepper
1 Tbsp chopped fresh chives, more if you like them
2/3 c cheddar cheese, shredded
1/3 c flour
1 large egg
5 Tbsp cream cheese
2/3 c seasoned bread crumbs, we like italian

Steps:

  • 1. Mix together everything but the bread crumbs and cream cheese with a mixer.
  • 2. Cut the cream cheese into little squares, about a tablespoon a square.
  • 3. Take 1/4 or 1/5 of the mixture, form a patty in your hand, place a square of cream cheese in the middle, and form the potato mixture around it.
  • 4. Reform back into a patty.
  • 5. Put the bread crumbs into a shallow plate and press the patties on both sides into the crumbs.
  • 6. Refrigerate for an hour to give flavors a chance to marry.
  • 7. Heat 1 inch of oil in a skillet. Fry on both sides until browned and crispy.

These potato pancakes were a bit bland for my taste. I think I would add some more seasoning next time.

These pancakes were a little too greasy for my taste, but the flavor was good. I think I would try using less oil next time.
