Many mothers and grandmothers are familiar with the situation when suddenly a horde of children appears in the house. And not for 10 minutes, but for half a day. And they need something to feed, and the trip to the store was planned only for the evening … But there is always a way out.
In case of the arrival of unexpected guests, especially if they are children, you can stock up on Mexican cakes (they are of several types - whoever likes which). They can be stored for a long time in sealed packaging. But if you have already opened it, then it is better to use it right away. Otherwise, no matter how you seal them, the air will still do its own thing …
Many children simply adore them, especially with potatoes, or with potatoes and cheese. Moreover, there is rarely a situation when there are no potatoes in the house, unless they are not eaten at all.
Making mashed potatoes is easy. Cheese is even better. Then you can add grated cheese to the puree (so that it does not spread too much - it is better in a 3: 1 ratio). If children love greenery and there is one in the house, then it's super!
Cooking method
Take a flatbread, put mashed potatoes on one half of it (about 1 cm thick), cover with the other half and put in a preheated frying pan without oil.
Fry until golden brown, first on one side, then on the other.
Place on a dish. And while the cakes are still hot, cut them in half to make it easier for the children to eat. To lubricate or not to lubricate with oil from above - decide for yourself. One package (8 pieces) makes 16 delicious snacks like Tatar kystyby. How many packs of cakes to stock up - decide for yourself.
In fact, there can be any number of filling options. Build on what is in the fridge and what guests and your kids love. This option is almost a win-win. And the children are full and happy, and you are not much delayed in fulfilling your plans for the day.
