Ingredients
- potatoes - 6 medium (cooked and peeled)
- eggs - 2 (to bind the mixture)
- tuna - 2 cans (canned)
- saltine crackers - 1 small packet (used instead of breadcrumbs, crushed)
- cilantro - watch the video to see (chopped)
- red onion - half (chopped)
- cheese - watch the video to see (small pieces to put inside pancakes)
- salt - watch the video to see (to taste)
- oil - watch the video to see (for frying pancakes)
Instructions
- Prepare potatoes: Cook potatoes in advance, peel them, and mash them well using a glass or similar tool. Let the mashed potatoes cool slightly.
- Prepare herbs and onion: Chop cilantro and half a red onion into small pieces.
- Mix pancake ingredients: In a bowl, combine mashed potatoes, chopped cilantro and onion, eggs, canned tuna, crushed saltine crackers, and salt. Mix everything well by hand. Add the second egg if the mixture seems too dry.
- Form and fill pancakes: Shape the mixture into small pancakes. Place two small pieces of cheese inside each pancake and cover them.
- Fry pancakes: Heat oil in a pan. Fry the pancakes on one side until golden, then flip and fry the other side until cooked through and browned.
- Prepare flag sauce: Chop cilantro, serrano peppers (4), tomatoes (4), and an onion. Mix all chopped ingredients and add salt to taste.
- Serve: Serve the tuna potato pancakes hot with the flag sauce on top. Optionally, serve with rice.
