Ingredients
Scale
- 4 large potatoes, peeled and grated
- 1 pound ground beef
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 1 onion, finely chopped
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Olive oil for frying
Instructions
- Prepare the Potatoes: In a bowl, mix the grated potatoes with a pinch of salt. Squeeze out the excess moisture using a clean kitchen towel or cheesecloth.
- Cook the Potato Patties: Heat a small amount of olive oil in a pan over medium heat. Form the grated potatoes into patties and fry until golden brown on both sides. Set aside on a paper towel-lined plate.
- Cook the Beef Filling: In the same pan, add a bit more olive oil if needed and cook the ground beef until browned. Add the finely chopped onion, minced garlic, paprika, salt, and pepper. Cook until the onions are translucent and the beef is cooked through.
- Assemble the Potato Cakes: Place a spoonful of the beef mixture on a potato patty. Top with a sprinkle of shredded cheddar cheese, then cover with another potato patty, pressing the edges to seal the filling inside.
- Fry the Stuffed Potato Cakes: Heat a bit more olive oil in the pan and fry the stuffed potato cakes until they are crispy and golden brown on both sides.
- Serve: Serve hot and enjoy the cheesy, beefy goodness!
