My three boys love these potato pancakes because they are so tasty and cheesy! Excellent as a side dish or snack! For the lunch box, these travel well wrapped in foil. Served alone or as a dip with ranch dressing.

OMG! That’s all I have to say. Followed the recipe almost exactly. Used 5 potatoes and cooked in the remaining bacon grease instead of butter. Everyone loved these!
Unfortunately, I only had mozzarella cheese. My family still enjoyed. Prepping took me a little longer which happens to me first time trying to make. We were all stuffed! Will definitely make again. Thank you
There are only two of us so I cut everything in half, well it was such a hit that they were wiped out
I made this recipe a little while ago. And loved it. Didn’t change anything on the recipe. Apart little less salt added. Making again later.
my Son loves this chezzy recipe!
It was really good. I used Colby jack cheese instead. We dipped it in sour cream, ketchup or BBQ sauces. I also added Lowry’s seasoning.
It was really delicious
Made this, but did not like. I followed the recipe exactly. I think the potatoes should have soaked in ice water. They were pretty starchy. Put some sour cream on top in order to eat.
This is the best potato pancake recipe ever. I added three green onions and 1/8 teaspoon of garlic per two potatoes. My boyfriend and I ate them in a matter of seconds.
Best potato pancakes ever,
This was delicious! And my kids loved it!
This recipe is great. I did not add the bacon bits, but rather added a dip of sour cream & Garlic chili sauce. It was fabulous!
I made this recipe with just one tweak – I used gluten free self-raising flour instead of plain flour and baking powder – and the pancakes turned out beautifully! Oh, and I also sprinkled a little extra grated tasty cheese onto the uncooked side before flipping them over. Sooo happy with the result! I’ll definitely be making these again.
Quick, easy, versatile, yummy
These are amazing—everyone loved them! They also reheat very well. They are my son’s favorite snack food 🙂
These were comforting and easy to eat…I add fresh onion instead and made the full amount but would half it in the future so i’m not in the kitchen for an hour….would love to have a version where they’re put in the oven somehow…have lots of leftovers after three of us ate them for dinner, id make them again with added sweet potatoes and green onion garnish
These were really tasty. And I even omitted the bacon (due to laziness) My picky kids even ate them! They do take a bit of work.
No changes. It was delicious -especially with Ranch dressing!!
Amazingly delicious!!!
YUMMY, in capital letters! I had a little trouble with the first batch, as they were a little on the runny side. So, on the second and third batch, I used three egg yolks, and one egg white, instead of the two whole eggs stipulated in the recipe. Which resulted in big smiles from everyone.
I love them and they were a huge hit with my family.
