To form each patty, take a portion of the potato mixture (about 2-3 tablespoons) and place it into the hot pan, flattening it slightly to create a thin base layer. Place a generous portion of the grated cheese (about 1-2 tablespoons) on top of this potato base layer. Cover the cheese with another layer of the potato mixture, completely enclosing the cheese to form a neat potato patty.

Fry the patty for 4-6 minutes per side, or until it is golden brown and crispy. Repeat this process for the remaining potato and cheese mixture, adding more oil to the pan as needed. You may need to work in batches.

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Transfer the fried potato patties to an oven-safe dish. Bake for 5-7 minutes, or until the cheese is fully melted and the patties are heated through. This step helps ensure the cheese is gooey and the patties are cooked evenly.
