Thanks to all who entered. We sincerely appreciated your efforts!
Here is her New Mexico connection story:
"So excited, Thank you.
I grew up in El Paso TX/ Las Cruces NM area and we made trips to Albuquerque and Santa Fe from time to time, stoping at small town and touristic places on the go. I love NM green chile peppers, salsa verde, tomatillos, jalapeño and serrano, lime, cilantro garlic, onion and tortillas. I love cooking and I saw your recipe contest online and asked a friend to ship me some of the products that will go well together in a "vegetarian dish". I use my cast iron skillet "Lola" almost everyday, she is a show girl. I live in Massachusetts now with my family but I still enjoy very much teaching people about the Southwest flavors. My recipe was inspired by your cornbread and salsa verde so I created a dish that could be serve as a "meal", combining cornbread and mashed potatoes was a success. The potato cakes were flavorful and crispy as well. It was delicious!"
Here is the recipe, please let us know your comments, thanks again!
