Years ago, when I was searching for just the right thing to perk up a meal, my neighbor suggested these pancakes. They did the trick! Golden brown, crisp and cheesy, they make a deliciously different dish anytime of day. Ingredients:
1 package (3 ounces) cream cheese, softened |
2 eggs |
2 tablespoons king arthur unbleached all-purpose flour |
4 cups shredded peeled potatoes (about 1 pound) |
1/4 cup shredded swiss cheese |
2 tablespoons grated onion |
1/4 teaspoon salt |
1/8 teaspoon pepper |
dash cayenne pepper |
3 tablespoons butter |
3 tablespoons canola oil, divided |
Directions:
1. In a large bowl, beat cream cheese until smooth. Add eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition. Gradually add flour and mix well. Stir in the potatoes, Swiss cheese, onion, salt, pepper and cayenne pepper.
2. Heat butter and 2 tablespoons oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium heat. Drop batter by 1/4 cupfuls into butter and oil; press lightly to flatten. Fry in batches until golden brown on both sides, using remaining oil as needed. Drain on paper towels. Yield: 16 pancakes.
