Cheesy Potato Cornstarch Patties

Recipe by Jose.elcook

Crispy, golden‑brown potato patties with a molten cheese center. The secret is simmering the potatoes (not boiling), mashing them with cornstarch and spices, then frying at 350°F until perfectly browned. A comforting snack or side that’s easy to make and irresistibly cheesy.
