Special Touch

Garnish these savory patties with fresh cilantro leaves. If you're a cilantro lover, chop 1 tablespoon cilantro and mix in with the potato mixture as well.

Substitution

The seasoned potatoes add a little bit of heat to these patties, but for a more intense kick, use a medium or hot salsa.
