Difficulty: Easy

Instructions

Things You'll Need:

• 4 large (2-1/2 pounds total) baking potatoes, washed but not peeled
• 4 tablespoons butter, melted
• 1/4 cup onions, minced
• 1/2 tablespoons parsley, chopped
• 1/2 tablespoons kosher salt
• Black pepper, to taste
• 3 ounces Wisconsin Gorgonzola, cut into 1/2 inch pieces placed in freezer to firm and chill completely
• 1 teaspoon olive oil

1. Cover the potatoes with water and bring to a simmer in a large pot. Cook for 10-12 minutes then turn off the heat. Leave the potatoes in water to cool to room temperature.

2. Drain and peel the skin off the potatoes when cool. Grate the potatoes into a bowl, using the course side of a cheese grater.
   
   Add the melted butter, parsley, onion, salt and pepper. Stir well.

3. In a non-stick pan heat 1 teaspoon olive oil. Add half the potato mixture, smooth down with the back of a spatula. Add the cold Gorgonzola slices then top with the remaining potatoes. Seal the edges by pressing with the back of a spatula.

4. Cook the potatoes over medium heat or until lightly browned (3 to 4 minutes). Turn it over and brown the other side (3 to 4 minutes). When done, slide the pancake onto a plate. Drizzle with sour cream, whipped cream or your favorite syrup.
