When ready to cook, drain water from potatoes and dry with a paper towel. Mix potatoes, onions, egg, crackers, salt and pepper together. Heat up a skillet or griddle. Add canola oil and let it get hot. Use 1 cup of potato mixture and shape into a thick patty. Let it cook until it's brown on the bottom and then turn over, letting the other side brown up. Last few minutes add cojack cheese on top of patty and let it melt.
