With a flavorful filling of seasoned ground beef and melted cheese nestled inside tender mashed potato cakes, this recipe offers a satisfying blend of textures and tastes sure to please any palate. ;eI love to make potato cakes stuffed with fried beef and cheese for a delicious dinner with the whole family or sometimes as a tasty appetizer for a game night with friends.
To begin with, prepare the potato cakes by boiling peeled potatoes until fork-tender. Once cooked, mash them with butter, milk, salt, and pepper until smooth and creamy. Let the mashed potatoes cool slightly before shaping them into patties. The key to a perfect potato cake is balancing a creamy interior and a crispy exterior. For the beef filling, cook ground beef in a skillet until browned and crumbled. Add finely chopped onions and garlic to the meat, cooking until softened and fragrant. Season the mixture with your favorite spices, such as paprika, cumin, and a pinch of chili powder for a touch of heat. Stir in some shredded cheese—cheddar, Monterey Jack, or a blend—until it melts and combines with the beef. To assemble the potato cakes, flatten a portion of mashed potatoes in your hand, place a spoonful of the beef and cheese mixture in the center, and then carefully fold the edges of the potato around the filling to seal it.
Gently shape into patties. Coat each cake in a light layer of flour, then pan-fry in a skillet with a bit of oil over medium heat until golden brown and crispy on both sides.
Serve these cheesy beef stuffed potato cakes warm, garnished with fresh herbs, or a dollop of sour cream if desired. They offer a delightful combination of creamy potatoes, savory meat, and melted cheese, making them a deliciously satisfying treat for any occasion.
