Llapingachos Potato Cakes Filled With Cheese

Llapingachos are potato patties filled with cheese, then sauteed to a golden brown for an appetizer or snack in ecuador. If your not in a hurry they will fry better if the patties are chilled for about 45 mins before frying. When fried warm they will be ok but will sloppier and not hold together quite as well
