Snack On 3 Ingredient Cheesy Potato Patties

By Shireen Jamooji

Inspired by a South American dish Llapingachos from Ecuador, this simple snack is crispy on the outside, soft on the centre  and cheesy all the way through.  What more could you need?

Ingredients

6-8 medium potatoes 1 tbsp cornflour Grated cheese Paprika (optional) Salt and pepper to taste

Step 1

Peel the potatoes and steam or boil until fork tender. Add salt and pepper to taste then mash until smooth.

Step 2

Grate the cheese and mix it with the potato. Add some cornflour if the mixture becomes too wet.

Step 3

Form the mixture into balls and flatten them. Fry in hot oil until golden on both sides.
