Directions:
- Boil the potatoes and mash (You may also use leftover mashed potatoes made without milk and butter).
- Sautee onion in oil until soft, remove from pan and add to mashed potatoes.
- When the potaotoes have cooled down beat the egg yolk and mix in to the potatoes.
- Add salt and pepper to taste.
- Form into equal sized balls and poke a hole in the middle of each ball stuffing each hole with cheese. Seal.
- Flatten each ball in to patties and chill for 30 minutes (This makes them less likely to spread when frying).
- Add oil to a medium hot frying pan and sautee until golden and crispy outside and heated thoughout.
- Note: You can also just mix the shredded cheese in to the potato mixture but I like the gooey 'surprise' in the middle.
- Queso Blanco is the traditional cheese used but Monteray Jack or mozzarella may be substituted.
- Prep time does not include chilling time.
- Cooking time will depend on the size of your pan and number of batches being made. 5 minutes per side seems to do the job.
