Oil-Free Vegetable Patties

Press the potato, carrot, scallions, and chile with paper towels to remove any excess moisture. Place the eggs in a bowl and beat lightly. Mix in the flour, salt, and pepper, then add the vegetables. Blend until well-mixed with quite a thick consistency.

Heat a comal or cast-iron griddle and drop on 1 heaping tablespoon of batter per patty. Press down with the back of the spoon to make circles 2 1/2 inches in diameter. Cook for 2 minutes on each side.

Serve either as an appetizer with any tomato or tomatillo sauce, or on their own, as a vegetable with the main meal.
