Ecuadoran Spicy Cheese and Potato Patties

 

1 3/4 pounds potatoes, 1 inch chunks

2/3 cup corn kernels

1/2 cup grated Monterey Jack cheese

1 Anaheim or poblano chile, seeded and chopped

1/3 cup chopped scallions

3 tablespoons chopped fresh cilantro

3 tablespoons butter

 

Boil potatoes over medium heat for 15 minutes or until

tender. Drain and return to the pan. Stir gently over

medium heat for about 1 minute. Place in a large bowl

and mash until smooth. Stir in the corn, cheese,

chile, scallions and cilantro. Season with salt and

pepper and mix well. Shape into 8 patties about

3/4-inch thick. In a large, heavy skillet, melt the

butter. In two batches, cook patties over medium heat,

turning once, for 6 to 8 minutes or until golden

brown.

Serves 4 to 6.
