Storage and Serving

• Llapingachos de Mote are best served immediately while still hot and crispy.
• If you have leftovers, store them in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days.
• To reheat, place the patties in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for about 10 minutes or until heated through.
