Description

Crispy potato and onion cheese pancakes topped with a flavorful tomato, fresh dill, and melted mozzarella cheese mixture, baked to perfection for a comforting and satisfying dish perfect for any meal.

Ingredients

Scale

Pancake Batter

  • 1 medium onion, freshly grated
  • 4 medium potatoes, grated and drained well
  • 3 fresh eggs
  • 4 tablespoons all-purpose flour
  • Sea salt, to your liking
  • Freshly ground black pepper
  • Olive oil for pan-frying

Tomato Filling

  • 6 ripe tomatoes, diced
  • 150g fresh mozzarella cheese, shredded (divided)
  • Fresh dill, chopped (quantity as preferred)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Batter: Grate the onion and potatoes into a large mixing bowl. Add the eggs, a generous pinch of sea salt, freshly ground black pepper, and all-purpose flour. Mix thoroughly until you achieve a well-combined batter ready for cooking.
  2. Cook the Pancakes: Heat a good splash of olive oil in a non-stick pan over medium heat. Spoon portions of the potato mixture onto the pan forming pancakes. Cook each side for about 2 minutes until golden and crispy. Remove and place on paper towels to drain excess oil.
  3. Prepare the Filling: Preheat your oven to 200°C (400°F). In a separate bowl, combine the diced tomatoes, chopped fresh dill, and half of the shredded mozzarella cheese, mixing well.
  4. Assemble and Bake: Place the cooked pancakes on a baking sheet. Divide the tomato-cheese mixture evenly over each pancake, then sprinkle the remaining shredded mozzarella cheese on top. Bake in the preheated oven for 15 minutes or until the cheese melts and bubbles.
  5. Serve: Remove from the oven and allow to cool slightly for a minute or two. Serve warm, garnished with additional fresh dill if desired, and enjoy your delicious potato and onion cheese pancakes.

Notes

  • Ensure potatoes are drained very well to avoid soggy pancakes.
  • Use a non-stick pan to prevent sticking and achieve even crispness.
  • Adjust seasoning with salt and pepper to taste in the batter.
  • For a richer flavor, add a pinch of garlic powder or smoked paprika to the batter.
  • These pancakes can be served as a main dish or a hearty appetizer.
