Boil the potatoes, drain them, and mash until smooth.
Soften the onion in annatto oil for 5 minutes.
Add the onion to the potatoes and knead with salt and black pepper.
Take pieces of the potato mixture, fill with cheese, and shape into flat patties.
Cook the patties in a pan for 10 minutes, until both sides brown.
Heat the peanut butter, milk, cumin, and lemon to make a sauce.
Serve the patties with warm peanut sauce.
💡 Tip: If the potato mixture sticks to your hands, chill it for 10 minutes; cooled starch keeps the patties from falling apart.
🍽️ Serving suggestion: Serve llapingachos with peanut sauce, avocado, and optional tomato salad.
