Note
For best results, use leftover roasted or boiled potatoes that have cooled slightly, as they hold their shape better when fried.
You can add chopped green chilies to the mixture for an extra kick of heat and flavor.
Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat in a skillet to maintain texture.
Feel free to adjust the amount of salsa to taste, or use a spicy salsa for more heat.
