Ingredients
2 pounds potatoes, peeled and chopped
1 salt
2 large eggs, lightly beaten
1/2 cup chives, finely chopped
1/2 cup cornmeal
10 ounce corn, thawed
6 ounces pepper jack cheese, shredded
1 pepper
3/4 cup vegetable oil
Directions
  1. Place the potatoes in a medium pot and cover with cold water by 1 inch. Salt the water and bring to a boil, then lower the heat and simmer until the potatoes are tinder, about 15 minutes.

  2. Drain, then mash the potatoes in the pot.

  3. Cook, stirring over medium-low heat for 1 minute. Let cool, stirring occasionally, for about 20 minutes.

  4. Meanwhile, stir together the eggs and chives.

  5. Place the cornmeal on a large, shallow plate.

  6. Combine the potatoes with the corn, cheese and the egg mixture; season with pepper.

  7. Scoop out 2 rounded tablespoons and roll into a ball. Set on a sheet of waxed paper; repeat with the remaining mixture (should make about 30 pieces). Flatten each ball into a 1/2" thick patty, coat in the cornmeal and transfer to a baking sheet.

  8. On a griddle, heat 1/4 cup oil over medium-high heat. Working in three batches, add the corncakes and cook until golden brown, about 2 minutes on each side.

  9. Transfer to paper towels to drain and season with salt.
