Ingredients

1 1/4 lbs whole, scrubbed russet potatoes

2 large eggs

2 fresh jalapeno or other hot green chiles, stemmed, seeded & diced

1/3 cup minced green onions, white & green parts

3 Tbsp chopped fresh cilantro or flat leaf parsley

15 1/2 oz can corn, drained

1/2 cup cottage cheese

2/3 cup shredded cheddar cheese

2 Tbsp yellow cornmeal

1 Tbsp ground cumin

2 tsp salt

1/2 tsp fresh ground pepper

Oil for shallow frying

Directions

In a 5-6 qt saucepan over high heat, bring about 4 qts water to a boil. Add potatoes and cook until tender when pierced, 20 to 30 minutes. Drain and rinse in cold water until cool enough to handle; peel and grave or press through a food mill or ricer; set in a large bowl.

In a small bowl, beat eggs; set aside.

Add chiles, green onion, cilantro, eggs, corn, cottage cheese, cheddar, cornmeal, cumin, salt and pepper to potatoes and blend mixture well.

Pour about 1 tsp oil into a 10" or 12" nonstick frying pan over medium-high heat; when hot, drop potato mixture into pan in about 1/3 cup portions, and use the back of a spoon to spread silghtly into 3" or 4" cakes. Cook, turning once, until cakes are browned on both sides and firm to the touch in the center, about 6 minutes total.

Transfer to an oven-proof plate and keep warm in a 200F oven while you cook remaining cakes, adding more oil to pan as necessary.

* I suggest you not use a food processor to blend the ingredients as it totally ruins the texture.
