Recipe - Chile Flavored Latkes

1 pound Baking potatoes or yello
Bintje potatoes, shredded
fine rinse with cold
water and squeeze as dry
as possible
1 Egg
1 cup Flour
1 small Onion, chopped fine
5 Cascabel peppers, chopped
fine
One half Pasilla pepper, chopped fine
One fourth cup Chopped parsley
Salt and pepper to taste
1 cup Shredded cheese, cheddar or
gouda

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
