Kicked-Up Potato Pancakes

Shredded potato with cheese, ham and more. Tasty and wonderful! I invented this during an Iron chef cooking contest I had with my family - and won!

Step: 1

Combine potatoes, ham, eggs, mozzarella cheese, onion powder, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper in a bowl.

Step: 2

Heat a large skillet over medium-low heat. Pour enough olive oil to cover bottom of pan.

Step: 3

Scoop up about 1/2 cup of potato mixture per pancake and form into a patty. Repeat, making 8 patties in all.

Step: 4

Place 4 pancakes at time in hot olive oil. Cook until browned, about 4 minutes on each side. Transfer to paper towel-lined plate.

Step: 5

Sprinkle with green onion and Parmesan cheese.
