Potato pancakes with ham, cheese, and dill are a heartier version of classic raw potato pancakes. Along with onion, eggs, and flour, the batter includes grated ham, cheese, and fresh dill, which gives the pancakes a fragrant touch. Ladle the batter into hot oil and spread it thin with a spoon.

They are ready in about 25 minutes. Serve them as a lunch on their own, alongside soup, or cut into smaller pieces as party snacks.

Instructions

Tip: tap a step to mark it as done.

Peel and grate the potatoes, chop the onion and dill, and finely grate the ham and cheese. Mix everything together.
Season with salt and ground black pepper to taste, add the raw eggs and flour, and mix thoroughly.
Heat the oil in a skillet. Ladle the batter into the skillet and spread it out with the back of a spoon.
Continue frying in batches until all the potato pancakes are cooked.

Tip: Press the grated potatoes in a strainer with the palm of your hand for crispier pancakes that absorb less oil. You can grate the onion along with the potatoes; its juice will slow their browning.
