Perfectly golden potato cakes stuffed with a savory ground beef filling and melted cheddar cheese—these hearty treats are ideal for a cozy meal or a festive gathering. Crispy on the outside with a warm, cheesy center, they’re bound to be a crowd-pleaser!
Ingredients:
- 4 large potatoes, peeled and grated
- 1 pound ground beef
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 1 onion, finely chopped
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Olive oil for frying
Directions:
- Prepare the Potatoes: In a bowl, mix the grated potatoes with a bit of salt and squeeze out any excess moisture to help them hold together better when frying.
- Form and Fry Potato Patties: Heat olive oil in a frying pan over medium heat. Shape the grated potatoes into small, flat patties and fry until golden brown on both sides. Set the patties aside.
- Cook the Beef Filling: In the same pan, add ground beef and cook until browned. Add chopped onions, minced garlic, paprika, salt, and pepper. Cook until the onions are translucent and everything is well blended.
- Assemble and Fry the Stuffed Cakes: Place a spoonful of the beef mixture on top of a potato patty, sprinkle with cheddar cheese, and cover with a second patty. Press gently to seal the edges.
- Crisp to Perfection: Fry the stuffed potato cakes until both sides are crispy and golden. Drain on paper towels if needed.
- Serve Hot: Enjoy these delicious, stuffed potato cakes while they’re warm and melty inside!
Note: For a twist, try swapping the ground beef with ground turkey or adding chopped herbs like parsley or chives for a fresh pop of flavor. These stuffed potato cakes make a versatile dish that pairs wonderfully with a simple salad or festive side!
