Prepare the Potatoes: Boil the potatoes until they are fully cooked.

Once boiled, grate the potatoes to form a smooth mash.

Mix the Ingredients: In a large bowl, combine the grated potatoes, small egg, grated cheese, and flour.

Add the chopped green onions, ground red pepper (if using), black pepper, and salt. Mix well until all ingredients are thoroughly combined.

Form the Pancakes: Heat oil in a frying pan over medium heat.

Take spoonfuls of the potato mixture and add to the pan, flattening them gently to form pancakes.

Fry the Pancakes: Fry the potato pancakes for about 5 minutes on each side or until they are golden brown and crispy.

Serve: Once cooked, remove the pancakes from the pan and let them drain on paper towels if needed. Serve hot.
