Chayote-Potato Cakes

== Ingredients ==
* ½ tsp salt
* 1 tsp canola oil
* Papaya Avocado Salsa or Mango Salsa
* ½ tsp freshly ground black pepper
* 1 large chayote, shredded (about 2½ cups)
* 1 large boiling potato, peeled and shredded (about 2½ cups)

# Repeat with remaining mixture, adding more oil to skillet if necessary.
# Serve right away with mango salsa or papaya-avocado salsa.
