These potato cakes were a huge disappointment. They were bland, greasy, and fell apart when I tried to eat them.

I'm not a fan of cilantro, so I omitted it from the recipe. The llapingachos were still delicious, but I think they would have been even better with cilantro.

I'm not sure what I did wrong, but my llapingachos turned out really dry. I think I might have overcooked them.
