Time 1h

Yield 12 patties, about 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 7

1 tablespoon coarse salt
4 medium Idaho russet baking potatoes (about 1 1/2 pounds), peeled and quartered
6 scallions (white part only), finely minced
3 ounces Ecuadorean quesillo (available in specialty food markets) or Monterey Jack cheese, grated
1/2 teaspoon finely ground black pepper
1/4 teaspoon fine salt
1/4 cup achiote-infused corn oil (recipe follows)

Steps:

  • In a large saucepan combine 2 quarts of water with 1 tablespoon coarse salt, and bring to a boil. Add the potatoes, and boil until soft, about 15 minutes. Drain and mash the potatoes; then, add the scallions, cheese, salt and pepper, and mix well.
  • Divide the puree into 12 balls -- about 3 tablespoons for each ball. Flatten the balls to form patties 3 inches wide by 1/2 inch thick. Allow the patties to cool 20 minutes, until firm. Unless the patties are firm enough, they will stick to the skillet.
  • Brush large nonstick skillet with achiote-infused oil, and place over medium-low heat. Place patties on skillet without crowding them. Lightly brush each patty with achiote oil. Cook 3 to 5 minutes on each side to form a crust. Repeat with remaining patties. Serve hot.

I'm not sure what I did wrong, but my patties fell apart when I tried to flip them. I think I might have needed to cook them for longer.

These patties were a bit too dry for my taste. I think I'll add some more milk next time.

I'm allergic to dairy, so I used vegan cheese in these patties. They turned out great and my family loved them.

These patties were a bit too spicy for my taste. I think I'll use less chili powder next time.

These patties were a bit too greasy for my taste. I think I'll try baking them next time instead of frying them.

I had trouble getting the patties to hold together. I think I might have needed to use more flour.

These patties were a bit bland for my taste. I think I'll add some more spices next time.

I'm not a big fan of potatoes, but these patties were surprisingly good. The cheese and herbs really made them flavorful. I'll definitely be making them again.
