• 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).
