Answer 1

Llapingachos (Ecuadorian potato pancakes with cheese sauce)

5 hours | 4 hours prep | SERVES 4  

A delightful specialty from Equador's highlands, found in a book of "Inca country" recipes. Perfect comfort food! Makes an extremely satisfying meal with a good avocado salad...I guarantee you won't miss meat, and I'm a die-hard carnivore myself. (Just as good with low-fat cream cheese, btw.)

POTATO PANCAKES

1 kg potato

1/2 teaspoon ground annatto seed or turmeric

1 medium onion, very finely chopped or grated

120 g shredded mozzarella cheese

salt

vegetable oil (for frying)

CHEESE SAUCE SALSA DE QUESO

100 ml red onion, finely chopped

3 teaspoons salt

1 teaspoon lemon juice

1/2 teaspoon sugar

500 g cream cheese

200 ml milk

1 ripe peeled tomato

2 hardboiled egg

Directions

1Peel and dice potatoes.

2Boil in salted water until very tender.

3Save ½ deciliter (about 1/4 cup) of the boiling water.

4Mash potatoes evenly and add boiling water, turmeric/annatto and chopped onion.

5Salt to taste.

6Cover with a tea towel and leave in a warm place for at least three hours.

7Prepare cheese sauce while mash is resting.

8CHEESE SAUCE: Mix chopped red onion well with salt and leave for 20 minutes.

9Rinse onion in cold water, then add lemon juice and sugar.

10Chop tomato and eggs finely.

11Put cream cheese in a pot, and add milk until the sauce is like thin mayonnaise.

12Heat slowly.

13Stir in tomato, eggs and onion, plus salt and pepper to taste--I add a little extra lemon juice as well to take some of the"heaviness" out of the sauce.

14Serve at room temperature or warm, not hot.

15While sauce is cooling, add mozzarella to potato mix.

16Roll the"dough" into small balls by hand, wetting your hands a little between each.

17Flatten balls into patties approx.

181 cm thick and 6 cm in diameter.

19Brush pan with oil (not too much) and fry at medium heat until crisp and golden.

20Brush upside of each pancake with oil before flipping the cakes VERY GENTLY.

21Don't undercook, or they'll fall apart.

22Serve hot and fresh with cheese sauce and a salad.
