Ingredients
– 2 large potatoes (about 1 pound)
– 1 cup shredded cheese (cheddar, mozzarella, or a mix)

Instructions
Follow these simple steps to create delicious Korean Cheese Potato Pancakes:
1. Prepare Potatoes: Peel and grate the potatoes using a box grater or food processor. Place grated potatoes in a clean kitchen towel and squeeze out excess moisture.
2. Mix Ingredients: In a large bowl, combine the grated potatoes, shredded cheese, flour, egg, salt, and pepper. If using green onions, fold them into the mixture at this point.
3. Heat Oil: In a non-stick frying pan, heat about 1/4 inch of vegetable oil over medium heat. Make sure the oil is sufficiently hot to ensure a crispy pancake.
4. Form Pancakes: Scoop about 1/4 cup of the potato mixture and form it into a patty. Gently place it in the hot oil and flatten it slightly with a spatula.
5. Cook: Fry the pancake for about 3-4 minutes on one side until golden brown, then flip it and cook for an additional 3-4 minutes on the other side.
6. Drain Excess Oil: Once cooked, remove the pancake from the pan and place it on a paper towel-lined plate to absorb excess oil. Repeat the process with the remaining mixture.
7. Adjust Heat: Make sure to adjust the heat as needed, ensuring the pancakes cook evenly without burning.
8. Serve Hot: Enjoy the pancakes hot off the pan for the best flavor and texture.
