Savoury Potato Pancakes with Ham and Cheese

Prepare all the ingredients. This is what awaits you on the plate - crispy potato pancakes filled with ham and cheese 🥔🧀 Prepare everything in advance so the work goes smoothly.

Peel and grate the potatoes. Peel the potatoes, grate them finely, and squeeze out the excess liquid thoroughly (ideally through a clean tea towel or in your hands).

Mix the potatoes with the egg and flour. Add the egg to the grated potatoes, season with salt and pepper, and sprinkle with flour. Mix everything well to form a compact mixture.

Cut the ham. Cut the ham into smaller pieces or strips.

Shape the filled pancakes. Divide the potato mixture into portions. Form a patty in your palm, place some ham and a piece of cheese in the center, fold it up, and shape it into a firm pancake. Prepare all the pieces this way.

Coat and fry the pancakes. Lightly coat the pancakes on both sides in flour. Heat a deeper layer of oil in a pan over medium heat. Fry the pancakes for 3-4 minutes on each side until beautifully golden and crispy. Let the finished pancakes drain briefly on paper towels.

Serve. Serve hot, perhaps with a spoonful of sour cream 🥔✨
