Ingredients

3 cups Simply Potatoes Traditional Mashed Potatoes
2/3 cup goat cheese, crumbles
1 tablespoon cumin
1 teaspoon fresh ground black pepper
salt (optional)
1/2 cup vegetable oil
2 cups plain panko breadcrumbs
2 eggs (beaten)
1/2 cup milk
2 red peppers
1/4 cup cilantro (chopped)
1/4 cup green onion (chopped)
1/4 cup black olives (chopped)
1 tablespoon lime juice

Steps:

To make the patties, combine the Simply Potatoes, goat cheese crumbles, cumin and black pepper in a large bowl. Take a heaping tablespoon of the potatoes and shape into a 1 inch patty. Place the patties on a cookie sheet and refrigerate at least 1 hour or overnight.
To make the salsa, roast 2 red peppers over gas flame or under a broiler. Place roasted red peppers in a plastic bag until cool enough to handle. Peel off blackened skin, chop up peppers and place them in a medium bowl. Combine peppers with cilantro, green onions, black olives and lime juice. Refrigerate salsa at least 1 hour or overnight.
Just before serving, fry the potato patties. Combine the egg and milk in small bowl and place the panko bread crumbs in a medium bowl. Heat the vegetable oil in a 10 inch frying pan on medium high for 4-5 minutes. Dip the potato patties in the egg mixture first and then coat both sides in the panko. Fry the patties in 2 batches in the hot oil 4 minutes per side or until golden brown. Drain fried patties on a paper towel.
Top each potato patty with a tablespoon of red pepper salsa and serve immediately.
