What You Need

cups shredded potatoes, well drained

pkg. (10 oz.) frozen chopped broccoli, thawed, well drained

pkg. (8 oz.) KRAFT Shredded Mild Cheddar Cheese, divided

eggs, lightly beaten

1/2

cup chopped onion

1/2

tsp. salt

1/2

tsp. black pepper

1/2

tsp. dried thyme leaves, crushed

1 or 2

drops hot pepper sauce

1/4

cup (1/2 stick) butter or margarine

Make It

PREHEAT broiler. Mix potatoes, broccoli, 1 cup of the cheese, the eggs, onion and seasonings.

MELT 1 Tbsp. of the butter in large nonstick skillet on medium heat. Spoon 2 Tbsp. of the potato mixture into skillet; press lightly to flatten. Repeat with the remaining potato mixture, allowing about 1 inch between pancakes. (You should be able to cook 6 to 8 pancakes at a time.) Cook 2 to 3 min. on each side or until crisp and golden brown on both sides. Drain on paper towels; place on ungreased baking sheets. Repeat with remaining potato mixture, adding remaining butter as needed. Sprinkle evenly with cheese.

BROIL pancakes, 4 to 6 inches from heat, 1 to 2 min. or until cheese is melted.

Kraft Kitchens Tips

Serving Suggestion

Try serving these potato pancakes with a crisp mixed green salad or vegetable and a serving of cooked lean meat, poultry or fish.

Make Ahead

Prepare as directed, except for topping with the remaining cheese and broiling. Cover; refrigerate overnight. When ready to serve, broil, 6 to 8 inches from heat, 1 to 2 min. on each side or until crisp and golden brown on both sides. Top with remaining cheese; continue broiling 1 to 2 min. or until cheese is melted.
