Cheesy Potato Patties with Sesame Crust

• • Cheese Selection: You can use a variety of cheeses depending on your taste preference. Mozzarella provides a soft, gooey center, while cheddar gives a sharper flavor. A mix of cheeses can also add depth to the dish.
  • Shaping the Patties: If the dough is too sticky, dust your hands with flour while shaping the patties. Make sure to keep the patties evenly sized for even cooking.

• Frying Temperature: Fry the patties on medium heat to ensure they cook through evenly without burning. If the oil is too hot, the outside will brown too quickly while the inside remains undercooked.
• Alternative Coatings: While sesame seeds add a delicious crunch, you can also experiment with breadcrumbs or crushed cornflakes for different textures.

Storage:

• • Refrigeration: Store leftover potato patties in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To reheat, warm them in a skillet over medium heat or in the oven until heated through.

• Freezing: These patties freeze well. Place them in a single layer on a baking sheet and freeze until solid. Once frozen, transfer them to a freezer-safe bag or container. To reheat, thaw in the refrigerator overnight and fry or bake until crispy.
