Potato Cakes “Tortitas de Papa”

This is one of my favorite ways to use up leftovers or create a snack and keep it in the refrigerator as they are good hot or cold.

The use of the rice flour also makes these yummy treats a gluten free alternative for a great side dish or snack.

Ingredients:

2 cups mashed potatoes (approximately)

1-2 eggs

1/4 cup Rice flour

To taste: Salt, Pepper, Garlic

Optional: Onion, Chives, Chiles, Cheese, Corn

Sour cream or a fresh “Pico de Gallo” for garnish to the side

Olive oil, for frying

Directions:

Mix mashed potatoes, egg, rice flour, salt, pepper, garlic, and any optional ingredients, into mashed potatoes.

Preheat skillet and add a couple of tablespoons of olive oil.

Make sure the mixture is not too thin.

Pour 1/4 cup batter into hot pan; brown on both sides.

Happy Cooking!
