Potato patties with cheese and ham are a cozy dish of Russian cuisine that combines the rich flavor of melted potatoes, the tenderness of melted cheese, and the spiciness of ham. This snack resembles traditional potato pancakes but gains a unique character with the addition of cheese and ham. Historically, such patties were prepared in Russian families as a hearty meal for lunch or dinner, especially in cold seasons. The crispy crust, soft filling, and aroma of fresh green onions make them perfect for serving with homemade sour cream or spicy sauce. They can be enjoyed as a standalone treat or as a side dish to meat and vegetable dishes. The simple and accessible recipe allows everyone to immerse themselves in the atmosphere of home comfort and traditions of Russian cuisine.
