Hold each chili with a fork over a gas flame, turning until

of warm water, and soak for 20 minutes.
Prepare achiote oil by stirring together annato seeds and
vegetable oil in a saucepan over medium heat for 2 minutes. Remove

in a cool place.

Stir 1/4 cup achiote oil into mashed potatoes (reserve remainder
of the oil for another use). Add lime or lemon juice and salt to
taste. Set aside.
For Sauce:
Drain ancho chilies, reserving soaking liquid, and place them in
a processor with the olive oil, fresh chilies, and garlic. Process
until smooth. With the machine running, add 1/2 cup of walnuts, 1/2
cup reserved pepper soaking liquid and 2 tablespoons of salt. Process
until smooth. Add half of the crumbled cheese and process until
smooth. Transfer to a small bowl. Coarsely chop the remaining
walnuts and add them to the mixture with the remaining cheese; salt
and pepper to taste.
Shape potato mixture into about 2 dozen 1 1/2-inch balls.
