| 1. Peel and dice potatoes. | 2. Boil in salted water until very tender. | 3. Save ½ deciliter (about 1/4 cup) of the boiling water. | 4. Mash potatoes evenly and add boiling water, turmeric/annatto and chopped onion. | 5. Salt to taste. | 6. Cover with a tea towel and leave in a warm place for at least three hours. | 7. Prepare cheese sauce while mash is resting. | 8. CHEESE SAUCE: Mix chopped red onion well with salt and leave for 20 minutes. | 9. Rinse onion in cold water, then add lemon juice and sugar. | 10. Chop tomato and eggs finely. | 11. Put cream cheese in a pot, and add milk until the sauce is like thin mayonnaise. | 12. Heat slowly. | 13. Stir in tomato, eggs and onion, plus salt and pepper to taste--I add a little extra lemon juice as well to take some of the"heaviness" out of the sauce. | 14. Serve at room temperature or warm, not hot. | 15. While sauce is cooling, add mozzarella to potato mix. | 16. Roll the"dough" into small balls by hand, wetting your hands a little between each. | 17. Flatten balls into patties approximately. | 18. 1 cm thick and 6 cm in diameter. | 19. Brush pan with oil (not too much) and fry at medium heat until crisp and golden. | 20. Brush upside of each pancake with oil before flipping the cakes VERY GENTLY. | 21. Don't undercook, or they'll fall apart. | 22. Serve hot and fresh with cheese sauce and a salad. | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------
