Yield Makes about 12 cakes; 3 or 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 13

1 1/4 pounds russet potatoes, scrubbed
1 can (15 1/2 oz.) corn, drained
2/3 cup shredded cheddar cheese (2 oz.)
1/2 cup small-curd cottage cheese
2 large eggs, beaten to blend
1/3 cup minced green onions (including tops)
3 tablespoons chopped fresh cilantro leaves
2 fresh jalapeño or other hot green chilies (about 2 oz. total), rinsed, stemmed, seeded, and diced
2 tablespoons yellow cornmeal
1 tablespoon ground cumin
2 teaspoons salt
1/2 teaspoon pepper
About 2 teaspoons salad oil

Steps:

  • In a 5- to 6-quart pan over high heat, bring about 4 quarts water to a boil. Add whole potatoes and cook until tender when pierced, 20 to 30 minutes. Drain and rinse in cold water until cool enough to handle; peel and grate (or press through a food mill or ricer).
  • In a large bowl, mix potatoes, corn, cheddar cheese, cottage cheese, eggs, onions, cilantro, jalapeños, cornmeal, cumin, salt, and pepper until well blended.
  • Pour 1 teaspoon oil into a 10- to 12-inch nonstick frying pan over medium-high heat; when hot, drop batter into pan in about 1/3-cup portions, and use a spoon to spread slightly into 3- to 4-inch cakes. Cook, turning once with a spatula, until cakes are browned on both sides and firm to the touch in the center, about 6 minutes total. Transfer to an ovenproof plate and keep warm in a 200° oven while you cook remaining cakes, adding more oil to pan as necessary.

Yield Serves 4 to 6 as a side dish

Number Of Ingredients 8

two 1/2-pound russet (baking) potatoes
1/2 cup finely chopped green bell pepper
1 1/2 cups fresh corn kernels including the pulp scraped from the cobs (cut from about 2 ears of corn)

1 teaspoon ground cumin
3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
2 tablespoons unsalted butter
4 tablespoons sour cream

Steps:

  • In a non-stick skillet measuring 6 inches across the bottom heat 1/2 tablespoon of the butter over moderate heat until the foam subsides, add 3/4 cup of the corn mixture, tamping it down with a spatula, and cook the corn and potato cake for 6 minutes, or until the underside is golden and crisp, slide it onto a plate, and keep it warm, covered.

SWEET POTATO CORN CAKES W/GARLIC DIPPING SAUCE



Sweet Potato Corn Cakes W/Garlic Dipping Sauce image

Make and share this Sweet Potato Corn Cakes W/Garlic Dipping Sauce recipe from Food.com.

Provided by Bonnie G 2

Categories     Yam/Sweet Potato

Time 50m

Yield 10 Cakes, 10 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 13

3 lbs sweet potatoes
1 cup frozen corn kernels
2 green onions
1/4 bunch cilantro (divided)
1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper
1 teaspoon cumin
1 teaspoon salt
1 large egg
1/3 cup yellow cornmeal
1 cup plain breadcrumbs
1/2 cup vegetable oil (for frying)
1 cup plain yogurt
1 garlic clove

Steps:

  • Begin by cooking the sweet potatoes. The fastest way to do this is in the microwave. Prick the skin of each potato with a fork. Wrap one potato in a paper towel, place it on a plate, and microwave on high for 5 minutes. Carefully remove it from the microwave, squeeze it to make sure it's soft in the center, and the allow it cool as you cook the next one. When the potatoes are cool enough to handle, cut them open and scoop the flesh into a large bowl.
  • Slice the green onions and roughly chop a handful of cilantro (about ⅛th of a bunch). Add the green onions, cilantro, frozen corn kernels, salt, cumin, and cayenne pepper to the bowl with the cooked sweet potatoes. Stir until well combined. You can taste it at this point and adjust the seasoning as desired.
  • Add the breadcrumbs, cornmeal, and egg to the bowl. These ingredients will bind the mixture together and keep it from falling apart while cooking. Stir until evenly combined. Cover the bowl and refrigerate for 30 minutes to allow the breadcrumbs to absorb moisture.
  • While the sweet potato mixture is refrigerating, mix up the garlic sauce. In a small bowl combine the yogurt, one clove of well minced garlic, and a handful of cilantro leaves (roughly chopped). Stir until combined and then refrigerate until ready to serve.
  • After the sweet potato mixture has refrigerated, it's time to cook. Add enough vegetable oil to fully cover the bottom of a medium skillet. Heat the oil over medium-high heat until the surface appears wavy (if it begins to smoke, remove it from the burner immediately and turn down the heat). Shape the sweet potato mixture into small patties (about 2-3 Tbsp each) and cook about 4 at a time in the hot oil. Cook until golden brown on each side; about 2 minutes per side. After cooking, place on a paper towel covered plate to drain. Add more oil to the skillet as needed.

MEXICAN POTATO CORN CAKES



Mexican Potato Corn Cakes image

Based on a recipe my BF asked me to make, we both liked this a lot! Altered to use real mashed potatoes. You can either use leftover mashed potatoes (2 cups), or replace the milk and potatoes with 2 cups milk and 2 cups dried potato flakes to save time. Has a mild but pleasing Mexican flavor that I think kids should like. I served this as a vegetarian main dish with a vegetable medley side of carrots, broccoli and red peppers.

Tips for Making Corn and Potato Cakes:

  • Use a non-stick skillet to prevent the cakes from sticking.
  • Be sure to cook the cakes over medium heat so that they cook evenly.
  • Do not overcrowd the skillet when cooking the cakes, or they will not cook evenly.
  • Serve the cakes immediately with your favorite toppings, such as sour cream, salsa, or guacamole.
  • For a crispier cake, press down on the cakes with a spatula while they are cooking.
  • To make ahead, cook the cakes according to the recipe and then let them cool completely. Store the cakes in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. When ready to serve, reheat the cakes in a preheated oven at 350 degrees Fahrenheit until heated through.
  • For a vegan version of the cakes, use plant-based milk and butter.
