For extra crispy pancakes, squeeze out any excess moisture from the shredded potatoes before mixing. You can use a clean kitchen towel or cheesecloth for this step. Feel free to experiment with different types of cheese, such as cheddar or Gruyère, to customize the flavor to your liking. Serve these pancakes with a dollop of sour cream, Greek yogurt, or a side of your favorite dipping sauce for added richness and tang.
