Potato and Cheese Latkes (Potato and Cheese Pancakes) image

These are the BEST LATKES (potato and cheese pancakes) that I, Alan Leonetti, have ever tasted, and I was raised on latkes all my life. This recipe was devised by my partner Dean Ramsey. If you have any questions e-mail me: [email protected]

Categories     Potato

Time 30m

Yield 10-12 latkes

Number Of Ingredients 6

1 (6 1/4 ounce) package instant mashed potatoes
1 (14 ounce) can chicken broth
1/2 cup cheese (shredded 4-blend of Monterey Jack, Mild Cheddar, Queso Quesadilla and Asadero)
4 tablespoons butter
1/3 cup milk
1 egg

Steps:

  • Cook instant potatoes in a pot following package instructions. Instead of water, use chicken broth, 4 tablespoons of butter and 1/3 cup of milk.
  • After potatoes have been whipped, but are still hot, mix in the cheese.
  • Allow to cool and blend in the egg.
  • If potato mixture is too thick, add a little more butter.
  • In a large skillet pour in 1/2 inch of cooking oil (not olive oil). Heat oil until very hot and then with a tablespoon, drop in large globs of the potato mixture.
  • When the edges begin to turn a golden brown, then with a spatula, turn the latkes over and continue cooking until the other side is golden brown.
