  4. Peel potatoes and cut into 1 inch thick slices. Arrange in baking sheet, and bake at 350* for 30 minutes. Allow to cool for 10 minutes. Place a round on piece of wax paper, and using the back of a spatula, press down and flatten the round to less than ½ inch. Be gentle, to keep the round intact. Remove to a sheet of waxed paper, and repeat with remaining potato slices. Combine salt, pepper, nutmeg, and cayenne. Sprinkle over both sides of potato patties.

  12. Heat butter in a large skillet over medium high heat. Add corn, jalapeno, green onions, salt and pepper. Sautee for about 10 minutes. Add sugar and stir well. Continue to cook until the corn begins to caramelize. Reduce heat to warm until ready to use.
