POTATO CAKES JALAPENO CHEESE

Steps:

• I use leftover baked potatoes, if using fresh ones allow to cool completely. Shred, once the skin comes off I remove any large pieces and throw them out.
• Chop two pickled jalapeno peppers and grate 1/2 cup of cheddar cheese.
• Mix potatoes, jalapeno, cheese and egg together. Add just enough flour to make them sticky, about 1/4 c. Form patties and brown in a skillet or on a griddle that is generously greased with olive oil (or butter or bacon fat).

• Preheat oven to 375°. Line a 15x10x1-in. pan with parchment. Remove the bottom of a 9-inch springform pan and place the round outer edge in the middle of the parchment., Place the potatoes, butter, salt and pepper in a large bowl; toss to coat. Layer a third of the potatoes evenly within the springform ring. Sprinkle with a third of the jalapenos and a third of the cheese. Repeat layers. Top with remaining potatoes and jalapenos., Bake for 35 minutes. Top with remaining cheese. Bake 15-20 minutes longer or until potatoes are tender. Let stand 5 minutes before removing ring. If desired, serve with salsa and sour cream.

CRISPY POTATO CAKE

Steps:

• Heat the oil and butter over medium heat in a nonstick 10-inch skillet. Once the butter is melted, sprinkle the grated potatoes into the pan in an even layer and, using a spatula, gently press them into the pan. Season with about half of the salt and pepper and let the potatoes cook without shaking or stirring the pan, until they're crisp and browned on the bottom, 8 to 10 minutes.
• Slide the potato cake onto a large plate and invert it onto another plate. Slide the potato cake back into the pan, browned side up, and season the top with the remaining salt and pepper. Continue to cook until the underside is nicely browned and the potato cake is cooked through, 7 to 9 minutes longer.
• Slide the potato cake onto a cutting board. Cut into wedges, sprinkle with parsley, and serve.
