Ingredients
- 4 large potatoes, peeled and grated
- 1 pound ground beef
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 1 onion, finely chopped
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Olive oil for frying
Directions
- Prepare the Potatoes:
- In a large bowl, mix the grated potatoes with a pinch of salt. Let them sit for a few minutes to release moisture. Squeeze out as much excess moisture as possible using a clean cloth or paper towel. This step helps achieve a crispier texture when frying.
- Fry the Potato Patties:
- Heat a generous amount of olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Take small portions of the grated potatoes and form them into flat patties. Fry the patties until they are golden brown and crispy on both sides, about 4-5 minutes per side. Remove from the skillet and set aside on a paper towel-lined plate.
- Cook the Beef Filling:
- In the same skillet, add a little more olive oil if needed and cook the ground beef over medium heat until it is fully browned. Drain any excess fat. Add the finely chopped onions, minced garlic, paprika, salt, and pepper. Continue to cook until the onions are translucent and the flavors are well combined.
- Assemble the Potato Cakes:
- On half of the potato patties, place a spoonful of the beef mixture. Sprinkle with shredded cheddar cheese. Top with another potato patty, pressing the edges to seal and create a stuffed cake.
- Finish Frying:
- Return the stuffed potato cakes to the skillet and fry until they are golden and crispy on both sides, about 3-4 minutes per side.
- Serve:
- Serve the Cheesy Beef Stuffed Potato Cakes hot, straight from the skillet. Enjoy the crispy exterior and gooey cheese filling!
