    Ecudorean Potato-and-Cheese Patties

    Source: Cooking Light-4/01


    List of Ingredients


    • 1 1/2 teaspoons kosher salt
    • 2 medium peeled baking potatoes, quartered (about 1 1/4 pounds)
    • 6 tablespoons (1 1/2 ounces) shredded queso fresco or Monterey Jack cheese
    • 2 tablespoons minced green onion
    • 1/4 teaspoon kosher salt
    • 1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
    • 1 tablespoon olive oil
    • 3/4 cup diced tomato
    • 1/2 cup julienne-cut red onion


    Instructions


    1. Place 1 1/2 teaspoons salt and potatoes in a saucepan, and cover with water. Bring to a boil; reduce heat, and simmer 15 minutes or until tender. Drain and mash with a potato masher until smooth. Cool.

    2. Add cheese, green onion, 1/4 teaspoon salt, and pepper to potato mixture, stirring well. Divide potato mixture into 6 balls (about 1/2 cup per ball). Flatten balls into 1/2-inch-thick patties (about 3 inches in diameter). Place on a baking sheet; cover and refrigerate 20 minutes or until firm.

    3. Heat oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium heat. Place potato-and-cheese patties in pan; cook 5 minutes or until bottoms are browned. Turn patties; cook 3 minutes. Top patties with tomato and red onion.

    4. Note: For a vibrant color, cook the patties in Annito Oil.

    5. Yield: 6 servings (serving size: 1 patty). 157 cal, 4.6g fat, 4.2g pro, 24.9g carb, 6mg chol, 279mg sod.
