- Yield: About 3 dozen patties
- In a large nonstick skillet, heat part of the oil to 375 degrees. Mix together the mashed potatoes, masa harina, baking pwdr, corn, cheese, salsa, salt, pepper and water. Form the mix into patties and fry, turning them once, till they are golden, abut 6 min. Add in more of the oil as needed. Serve them warm or possibly cool.
- * Masa harina is grnd dry corn with lime added - the foundation of tortillas and therefore of much of Mexican and Central American cuisine. It also is used to make tamales. It has become available in supermarkets in recent years; the Quaker brand is fine for this.
