This is a great potato patty, even with left over potatoes if they are fried (grate them). Most often made using left over mashed potatoes. It is not a hot dish using green mild chilies (can zip it up if you want with hot jalapeno). You can speed this recipe up with store bought mashed potatoes.
Ingredients:
2 cups mashed potatoes
1 teaspoon onion powder
1 whole fresh jalapeno, diced (optional)
1 (4 ounce) can diced green chilies (small can)
1 whole egg, beaten
1/2 cup flour
1 teaspoon salt and pepper
1/4 cup mixed peppers, red, bell, yelllow (optional) or 1/4 cup jalapeno pepper (optional)
1/4-1/2 cup oil
Directions:
1. Put left over potatoes in a bowl; season with salt and pepper, onion powder, and green chili to taste.
2. Add egg and flour; stir and mix (you don't want a wet patty).
3. Shape into patties (you can even dip in flour again for better crust).
4. Drop in hot oil; brown one side, turn and take out.
5. Serve with favorite salsa and eggs.
6. Great breakfast—this is good eats.
