These will be our favorite for years to come. They are crispy, cheesy, yummy and easy to make. ( You can use leftover mashed potatoes too. Also any seasoning). Good luck.
Ingredients:
– 4-5 medium Russet or Yukon potatoes peeled and cut lengthwise into quarters
– 2 small carrots peeled
– 1/2 tsp salt
– 3 tbsp heavy cream ( whipping cream )
– 1 tbsp garlic butter ( you can use unsalted butter too )
– freshly grounded black pepper ( just to test )
– 2/3 cup shredded cheddar cheese
– 1 large egg
– 3 tbsp all-purpose flour ( plus 1/2 cup )
– 1-2 green onions
– Olive oil, for pan-frying
To make:
1. Place the peeled and cut potatoes and carrots into a medium saucepan. Add cold water to the pan until the vegetables are covered by at least an inch. Add a half teaspoon of salt to the water. Turn the heat on to high, and bring the water to a boil. Reduce the heat to low to maintain a simmer, and cover. Cook for 15 to 20 minutes, or until you can easily poke through them with a fork.
2. While the vegetables are cooking, melt the butter and warm the heavy cream. You can heat them together in a pan on the stove or in the microwave.
3. Chop the onion
4. Grate a carrot in the small bowl
5. When the potatoes are done, drain the water and place the steaming hot potatoes into a large bowl. Pour the heated cream and melted butter over the potatoes. Mash the potatoes with a potato masher. Don’t over-beat the potatoes.
6. Add grated carrots, cheese, onions, egg and flour into the mashed potato and stir them until totally mixed. Divide the mixture into 10 portions (use 1/4 cup).
7. Roll each portion into a compact ball then flatten it into a pancake about a 1/2-inch-thick.
8. Place the remaining 1/2 cup of flour in a shallow dish and carefully put each pancake in the flour. (make sure both side of pancake covered by flour)
9. Heat of olive oil in a large frying pan over medium heat.
10. Fry the pancakes until they’re golden brown and crispy on both sides (about 3 to 4 minutes) Add more oil to the pan as needed between batches. 
Note: If you using mashed potatoes you don’t have to do step 1, 2. Start from step 3. (3 cups of mashed potatoes)
Enjoy 🙂
