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.

These potato corn cakes were a bit too oily for my taste. I think I would use less oil next time. Otherwise, they were tasty and had a nice crispy exterior.

These potato corn cakes were a bit bland for my taste. I think I would add some more spices next time. Otherwise, they were easy to make and had a nice texture.

Just made these potato corn cakes and they were delicious! I used a combination of almond flour and regular flour and they turned out great. The chipotle crema was also a nice touch. Will definitely make these again!

These potato corn cakes were easy to make and tasted great! I used cheddar cheese instead of mozzarella and they were still delicious. I will definitely be making them again.

I'm not a huge fan of potatoes but I really liked these potato corn cakes. They are a great way to use up leftover mashed potatoes. I served them with salsa and guacamole and they were a hit!

These potato corn cakes are the perfect side dish for any Mexican meal. They are easy to make and always a crowd-pleaser. I love that they can be made ahead of time and reheated when ready to serve.

My husband and I loved the Mexican potato corn cakes. We made a few substitutions (used regular flour instead of almond flour and added some chopped jalapenos) but they still turned out delicious. Will definitely make them again.

I was pleasantly surprised by how well these turned out. I'm not usually a fan of potato pancakes, but these were light and fluffy with a crispy crust. The corn and cheese added a nice sweetness and flavor. I served them with sour cream and salsa, an
