Llapingachos

Cook the Potatoes

Place the cubed potatoes in a large pot and cover with water.

Bring to a boil and cook until the potatoes are tender, about 15-20 minutes.

Drain the potatoes and return them to the pot.

Mash the Potatoes

Mash the potatoes until smooth and free of lumps.

Season with salt and pepper to taste.

Add Cheese and Seasonings

Stir in the shredded cheese, chopped cilantro, finely chopped onion, and ground cumin.

Mix until the cheese is melted and well incorporated.

Shape the Llapingachos

Allow the potato mixture to cool slightly.

Shape the mixture into small, flat patties, about 2-3 inches in diameter.

Cook the Llapingachos

Heat vegetable oil in a skillet over medium heat.

Cook the patties in the skillet until golden brown and crispy on both sides, about 3-4 minutes per side.
