Cheese Potato Pancakes

I love potato pancakes, especially for their simplicity, because the basis is represented by regular potatoes. Potato pancakes are absolutely incomparable, but for a change of their taste it is permissible to add different ingredients. As toppings you can use herbs, meat, mushrooms, cheese (hard or soft), sausage, vegetables and even some fruits. Lets consider one of the options - pancakes with hard cheese and greens. Garlic will become a spicy zest of the recipe, it will give the dish a special flavor and taste. A potato side dish in this unusual interpretation will be a great addition to your home lunch or dinner. Pancakes according to this recipe remain tasty and delicious even after the cooling. They harmonize perfectly with any sauces or with plain sour cream.
