Ingredients:

Serving

1 1/2 tsp kosher salt
2 medium peeled baking potatoes, quartered (about 1 1/4 lb)
6 tbsp (1 1/2 oz) shredded queso fresco or monterey jack cheese
2 tbsp minced green onions
1/4 tsp kosher salt
1/4 tsp freshly ground black pepper
1 tbsp olive oil
3/4 cup diced tomato
1/2 cup julienne-cut red onion

Directions:

Place 1 1/2 teaspoons salt and potatoes in a saucepan, and cover with water. Bring to a boil; reduce heat, and simmer 15 minutes or until tender. Drain, and mash with a potato masher until smooth. Cool.
Add cheese, green onions, 1/4 teaspoon salt, and pepper to potato mixture, stirring well. Divide potato mixture into 6 balls (about 1/2 cup per ball). Flatten balls into 1/2-inch-thick patties (about 3-inch diameter). Place on a baking sheet; cover and refrigerate 20 minutes or until firm.
Heat oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium heat. Place potato-and-cheese patties in pan; cook 5 minutes or until bottoms are browned. Turn patties; cook 3 minutes. Top patties with tomato and red onion.
