Ellen's Notes:

I did this instead of making individual potato cakes and frying them. Trying to get away from frying. You can add any combination of cheeses you like.

(See Ellen's Original Version of Recipe)

Comments from the Test Kitchen:

This has all the great flavor - and memories - of traditional potato pancakes. Simple as simple can be, but oh-so tasty!

Directions

Mix together potatoes, 1/4 cup of each cheese, salt pepper, egg and bread crumbs.

Melt a pat of butter in a glass pie dish. This will keep potatoes from sticking and add flavor. Place potato mixture in dish and spread evenly.

Top with remaining pinches of cheeses and bake for 30 min. @ 400.

Congratulations Ellen for winning the Blue Ribbon for this recipe. If only I had this recipe years ago, I would not have thrown out so many left over mashed potatoes. This is a must try recipe for the next batch of left over mashed spuds. Thanks for sharing. 6/12/12

Connie,
I have seen grated Mexican Cheese mix in my local grocery. It hangs in bags right next to the cheddar cheese, colby jack cheese, mozzarella, etc. That's where I find it. 6/18/12
