Cheese & Potato Pancakes

-Sylvie-'s Note:

These are great with smoked cheese but also work with any other hard cheese. Makes a nice snack. I got it from a cheese guide leaflet. It's lovely served with a poached egg.

Enjoyed by all! The first batch was not very pretty. I wasn't thinking and did not use a teflon-coated pan, man those suckers stuck to the skillet. Anyways, batch 2 was done in a non-stick pan and though they weren't the prettiest potato pancakes, they were very good. These are the first I've had or made that had cheese. I used a smoked gouda. Thanks!!

We enjoyed these very much. I made them using Yukon gold potatoes and smoked gouda and parsley picked from the garden! Thanks, Sylvie!

Everyone loved these & gobbled them allll up! I used gouda. I was thinking the onion needed draining more than the potatoes but they came out perfect & wonderful. Thank you!
