Instructions
 

Prepare the Potatoes:

    - Boil the cubed potatoes in a large pot of salted water for about 15-20 minutes until fork-tender. Drain and let them cool for a few minutes.

      Mash the Potatoes:

        - Once cooled, mash the potatoes in a large mixing bowl until smooth. Allow to cool completely.

          Make the Batter:

            - To the mashed potatoes, add flour, egg, salt, pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder. Mix until well combined, forming a dough-like consistency.

              Prepare the Cheesy Filling:

                - In a separate bowl, mix together the shredded cheese, cream cheese, chopped green onions, cooked bacon bits (if using), and cayenne pepper until well combined. Set aside.

                  Form the Pancakes:

                    - Take a handful of potato mixture and flatten it into a disc in your palm. Place a tablespoon of the cheesy filling in the center. Carefully fold the edges over the filling and form it back into a patty. Ensure the filling is completely enclosed in the potato mixture. Repeat with the remaining ingredients.

                      Fry the Pancakes:

                        - Heat oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Carefully place the stuffed potato pancakes in the skillet, making sure not to overcrowd. Fry for about 4-5 minutes on each side or until golden brown and crispy. Remove and place on paper towels to drain any excess oil.

                          Serve:

                            - Serve warm, topped with a dollop of sour cream, extra green onions, and a sprinkle of chili flakes for added flavor.
