Ingredients:
Instructions:
- Begin by peeling and grating the potatoes. To remove excess moisture, place the grated potatoes into a clean kitchen towel and squeeze out as much water as possible. This step is crucial for achieving crispy pancakes.
- Peel and finely chop the onion.
- Grate the cheddar cheese.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the grated potatoes, chopped onion, grated cheddar cheese, and self-raising flour. Mix thoroughly.
- Add the beaten eggs to the mixture. Stir until all ingredients are well-combined.
- Season with salt and pepper to taste.
- Preheat your air fryer to 200°C (390°F) for about 5 minutes.
- Using your hands or a spoon, form the mixture into small, flat pancake shapes. Ensure they are even in size for consistent cooking.
- You can make them about the size of your palm or slightly smaller for a bite-sized version.
- Lightly spray the air fryer basket with cooking spray or brush it with a small amount of oil to prevent sticking. Alternatively, you can place a parchment paper liner in the basket.
- Place the potato pancakes in the air fryer basket in a single layer. Ensure they are not touching for even cooking. You might need to cook them in batches depending on the size of your air fryer.
- Air fry at 200°C (390°F) for about 10-12 minutes. Flip them halfway through the cooking time to ensure they are golden brown and crispy on both sides.
- Once cooked, remove the pancakes from the air fryer and let them cool slightly on a wire rack to maintain their crispiness.
- Serve warm, optionally with sour cream, applesauce, or your favorite dipping sauce.
- You can garnish the pancakes with chopped fresh herbs like parsley or chives for added flavor and presentation.
Tips:
- Choose waxy potatoes like Yukon Gold or red potatoes for the best texture as they hold together better in the batter.
- Ensure to squeeze out excess moisture from the grated potatoes and onion using a clean cloth; this helps the pancakes become crispier.
- Preheat your air fryer for a few minutes before cooking to ensure even cooking and a nice, golden-brown finish to your pancakes.
- Do not overcrowd the air fryer basket; cook the pancakes in batches if necessary to allow for even air circulation and optimum crispiness.
- Serve the pancakes immediately after cooking for the best texture. You can keep them warm in a low oven if cooking multiple batches.
