These pancakes were a bit too greasy for my taste. I think I'll try using less oil next time.

I'm not a huge fan of pancakes, but these were surprisingly good. The cheese adds a nice flavor and the pancakes are nice and crispy.

These potato and cheese pancakes were absolutely delicious! They were crispy on the outside and fluffy on the inside, with the perfect amount of cheese. I served them with sour cream and applesauce, and they were a hit with the whole family.
