Tips:
- Russet potatoes are the best choice for this recipe, as they are starchy and hold their shape well. Yukon Gold potatoes can also be used, but they may fall apart more easily.
- If you don't have an instant pot, you can boil the potatoes in a large pot of salted water until they are tender. Drain the potatoes and then mash them with a potato masher or ricer.
- Be sure to grate the cheese finely so that it melts evenly throughout the potato cakes.
- If the potato mixture is too wet, add more flour until it is thick enough to hold its shape.
- Heat the oil in a large skillet over medium heat before adding the potato cakes. This will help them to brown evenly.
- Cook the potato cakes for 3-4 minutes per side, or until they are golden brown and crispy.
- Serve the potato cakes immediately with your favorite dipping sauce.
