Steps

1. 1. Prepare the potatoes25 min

   First, peel the potatoes and place them in a pot with enough water and about half a tablespoon of salt. Let them cook for about 20 minutes. Tip: To check if they’re done, pierce each potato with a fork; if the fork goes in and out easily, they’re ready.

2. 2. Let it rest5 min

   Remove the potatoes from the water with tongs and let them rest.

3. 3. Grind the potatoes5 min

   In a large bowl, mash the potatoes with a potato masher. Add the diced ham and cheese to the bowl and mix until the ham is well incorporated.

4. 4. Beat the eggs3 min

   In a moderately deep bowl, add 3 egg yolks and 1 egg white, then beat well with a mixer or fork until a frothy consistency forms. Next, place the flour in a similar bowl.

5. 5. Make the pancakes6 min

   Take about one and a half fistfuls of the potato, ham, and cheese mixture, shape it into an oval by rolling it into a ball and flattening it slightly. Now, take a large skillet with plenty of oil and heat it over medium heat. Then, coat the patties thoroughly in flour. Next, dip them in the beaten egg mixture.

6. 6. Fry the pancakes4 min

   Next, using tongs, fry them in very hot oil, taking the necessary precautions, and cook them for about 3 minutes on each side so they are thoroughly cooked.

7. 7. Remove the pancakes3 min

   Now we’ll carefully remove them from the skillet and place them on paper towels to remove the excess oil.
