Potato and Bread Cutlets recipe

4 servings

1 pound potatoes, peeled

2 slices bread, cubed

1 egg, beaten

1 teaspoon salt

1/2 teaspoon ground cayenne pepper

1 jalapeno pepper, seeded and minced

2 sprigs fresh cilantro, chopped

1 cup vegetable oil for frying

Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil.

Add potatoes and cook until tender but still firm, about 15 minutes.

Drain and cool.

In a large bowl, mash together potatoes and bread cubes.

Mix in egg, salt, cayenne, jalapeno and cilantro.

Shape potato mixture into patties and coat with bread crumbs.

In a large tall sided skillet, heat oil until almost smoking.

Carefully slide cutlets into oil.

Cook, turning once, until golden brown on both sides.

Remove from heat and drain.

Serve warm.
