How to Make Cheesy Crispy Potato Delight

Prepare the Potato Mixture:

1. Take the grated potatoes and squeeze out as much liquid as possible. This step is crucial for achieving that crispy texture we’re after.
2. In a large mixing bowl, combine the drained potatoes, chopped onion, diced red bell pepper, salt, and a generous amount of black pepper. Mix well to ensure the seasoning is evenly distributed.

Add Cheese and Scallions:

1. To the potato mixture, add the shredded mozzarella cheese and chopped scallions. Stir until everything is well combined. The mozzarella will add a delightful gooeyness to the crispy potato exterior.

Shape and Cook:

1. Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and lightly oil it. While the skillet is heating, take portions of the potato mixture and form them into patties.
2. Place the patties in the skillet and flatten them slightly with a spatula. Cook until the underside is golden brown and crispy, then flip and cook the other side until it achieves the same golden crispiness.

Serve Hot:

1. Once cooked, transfer the potatoes to a serving plate. They’re best enjoyed hot, straight from the skillet, with a side of your favorite dipping sauce or a simple salad for a complete meal.

FAQs about Cheesy Crispy Potato Delight

1. Can I use other types of cheese instead of mozzarella? Yes, feel free to experiment with different types of cheese such as cheddar, Swiss, or pepper jack to customize the flavor of your potatoes.
