[Guest guest]

This recipe was posted a couple of years ago - the member's reference to it just

now made

me hunt for anything we have on nopal.

Nopal is the large flat leaved cactus native to the sw of the united

states and the mexican sonora desert. It is also delicious in stir fry.

 

NOPAL PATTIES

 

6 nopal leaves

1/2 large onion

1 dark red chile

4 cooked potatoes

2 tablespoons of flow

1 egg

1 tablespoon vinegar

2 tablespoons olive oil

oil for frying

salt and pepper

 

Grate the nopales and onion (you may add garlic to taste)

soak in salted water.

 

Whip the potatoes, mix in the flour, egg and salt and pepper to taste. (My

recipe does not

say where to use the chile, so I used it as

garnish with the vinegar and oil.)

 

Shaped into thin patties and fry in oil, drain on papertowels.

 

Place the " tortillas " (potato pancakes where I grew up) and

surround them with the grated nopales , top with the vinegar and

chile. YUM YUM
