These ham and cheese potato pancakes are made without flour or eggs, using only potatoes boiled in their skins and coarsely grated. Seasoned with salt and pepper, they are shaped into rounds in hot oil and fried on both sides until golden brown. A slice of ham and cheese goes between two pancakes, then they are baked for a few more minutes. Serve them as a side dish or on their own for lunch or dinner.

Instructions

Tip: tap a step to mark it as done.

Boil the potatoes in their skins, drain, and let cool. Peel them, grate coarsely, and season with salt and pepper.
Heat the oil in a skillet. Add a portion of the potato mixture, shape it into a round pancake, and fry on both sides until golden brown.
Place ham and cheese between two pancakes, then bake the assembled pancakes in an oven preheated to 200 °C (400 °F) for another 5–10 minutes, until the cheese melts.

Tip: Shape the potato mixture directly in the pan using a metal ring and press it down gently with a spatula. This helps the grated pieces hold together and makes all the pancakes the same size, so they line up neatly with the ham and cheese between them.
