Ingredients
  

Pancake Mixture
  • 4 medium Russet potatoes peeled and grated
  • 3 breasts Cooked chicken boneless, skinless, shredded (about 1 lb)
  • 1 cup Fresh mozzarella cheese shredded
  • 2 large eggs
  • ½ cup All-purpose flour
  • ¼ cup Green onions chopped
  • Salt and pepper to taste
For Frying
  • Oil enough for frying; choose one with a high smoke point

Equipment

  • non-stick skillet
  • mixing bowl
  • kitchen towel

Method
 

Steps
  1. Start by peeling and grating the Russet potatoes. Using a clean kitchen towel, squeeze out any excess moisture to ensure your pancakes are crispy.
  2. Heat a skillet over medium heat and add the chicken breasts. Cook them until golden brown, about 7-8 minutes per side. Once cooked, allow them to cool before shredding.
  3. In a large bowl, combine the grated potatoes, shredded chicken, mozzarella cheese, large eggs, flour, chopped green onions, salt, and pepper. Stir everything together until well mixed.
  4. Pour oil into a non-stick skillet, heating it over medium heat. Using about half a cup of the mixture, form pancakes and fry them for approximately 3 minutes per side, or until they’re a heavenly golden brown.
  5. Once cooked, drain your pancakes on paper towels to absorb excess oil. Serve them hot with a drizzle of sour cream and a sprinkle of chives for that lovely finishing touch.
