Ingredients
- 4 medium Russet potatoes
- 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 3 tablespoons All-purpose flour
- 1 large Egg
- 4 ounces Goat cheese (chèvre)
- 2 tablespoons Chives (finely chopped)
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
Directions
Step 1
Peel the russet potatoes and grate them using a box grater. Place the grated potatoes in a clean kitchen towel and squeeze out as much liquid as possible.
Step 2
Transfer the grated potatoes to a large mixing bowl. Add the unsalted butter (melted), all-purpose flour, egg, finely chopped chives, salt, and black pepper. Mix well until the ingredients are evenly combined.
Step 3
Divide the mixture into 8 equal portions. Flatten each portion slightly into a small patty shape.
Step 4
Cut the goat cheese into 4 equal rounds. Place a round of goat cheese in the center of 4 patties and gently press another patty on top to enclose the cheese. Seal the edges well so the goat cheese stays inside during cooking.
Step 5
Heat the olive oil in a large non-stick skillet over medium heat. Once the oil is hot, carefully place the potato cakes in the skillet and cook for 3–4 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and crispy.
Step 6
Transfer the cooked potato cakes to a plate lined with paper towels to drain any excess oil.
Step 7
Serve the potato cakes warm, garnished with extra chopped chives if desired. Enjoy as is or with a dollop of crème fraîche on the side.
