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.

Overall, I thought this recipe was just okay. I might try making it again with some modifications.

I had a hard time getting the patties to hold together. I think I'll try using a different type of potato next time.

The patties were a bit dry. I think I'll add some more moisture next time, maybe some sour cream or yogurt.

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

These were really easy to make and they tasted delicious. I used cheddar cheese, but I think I'll try mozzarella next time. Thanks for sharing this recipe!

I've made these patties several times now and they always turn out great. They're a perfect appetizer or side dish, and they're always a crowd-pleaser. Highly recommend!

I was a bit skeptical about this recipe at first, but I'm so glad I tried it. The patties were incredibly flavorful and the cheese melted perfectly. Will definitely add this to my regular rotation.

These potato and cheese patties were an absolute hit with my family! I especially loved the crispy exterior and the gooey cheese center. I'll definitely be making these again.
