Directions
While making up a batch of latkes <yum1> for my potato loving husband, I decided to see what the combo of a few cascabel and pasilla peppers would do for the mix... voila! A decided treat. Here's what we had: Mix all the ingredients together except for the cheese, make patties and fry them in a vegetable shortening or peanut oil. brown them up nicely, and just before serving, cover in cheese and nuke for a couple of seconds to melt the cheese. It is important to make these nice and thin, otherwise you get uncooked potato in the middle, quite a bummer...<S> it is possible to half fry off a bunch and then finish them later, allowing you to refrigerate a bunch for those big breakfasts on Sunday after the late night chile eating contests...<G>
