If classic potato pancakes are simply a delicious lunch, then potato pancakes with cheese and garlic are a delicious lunch squared! Firstly, they will be crispy on the outside, but chewy on the inside, and secondly, garlic, which is not used in the classic recipe, gives the dish an incredibly appetizing smell and bright taste.
