04 - Heat a nonstick skillet over medium heat and add butter or oil.
05 - Take a small handful of potato mixture, flatten it in your palm, and place a tablespoon of shredded mozzarella in the center.
06 - Wrap the potato mixture around the cheese to form a patty, pressing gently to seal.
07 - Cook each pancake for 3–4 minutes per side until golden brown and crispy, with melted cheese inside.
08 - Sprinkle with chopped green onions if desired and serve hot for the best cheese pull.

# Additional Tips:

01 - These pancakes are best enjoyed immediately while the cheese is still stretchy and the exterior is crispy.
