Place the potatoes in a pot with enough boiling water and cook for 30 minutes or until soft. Drain. Mash the potatoes with a masher, season with salt and pepper, and add fresh cheese, egg, and cornstarch. Mix until combined and form the potato cakes. Cook the cakes in a skillet over medium heat with a little oil for 3 minutes on each side or until golden brown. Set aside. Place the Mole Doña María® in a pot over low heat, cook for 5 minutes, stirring constantly until it forms a paste. Then, gradually pour in the water and continue stirring until incorporated. Let it boil until the mole reaches the desired consistency. Serve the potato cakes, drizzle with Mole Doña María®, garnish with cheese, and accompany with red rice.
