(remember, at our house, we don't measure anything when cooking from scratch, so these measurements are close guesses)
To the mashed potatoes (which I had already added salt and pepper the day before), I added:
1/2 cup finely diced onions
2 eggs
dash of salt
dash of pepper
1 cup flour, plus flour for dusting
1/2 cup grated pepper jack cheese (the spice)
Olive oil for frying
On a floured surface, drop a scoop of mashed potato mixture.
Mash flat and form into a circle about 3/4 inch thick. Both sides should be floured.
Sprinkle a teaspoonful of grated cheese into center of pancake.
Fold edges in toward center covering the cheese.
Fry on medium low heat until golden brown on both sides.
We kept them warm in the oven until ready to serve. This was, of course, after we tried a few. Yummy! The spicy melted cheese with the soft potato texture was really a complement to our dinner.
