Modified Papa Rellena: Stuffed Peruvian Potato Delight
×
Ingredients
- 2 large russet potatoes
- 1 pound ground beef
- 1 medium onion, finely chopped
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1/2 cup green olives, pitted and chopped
- 2 hard-boiled eggs, chopped
- 1 teaspoon ground cumin
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- Salt to taste
- Black pepper to taste
- 1 cup bread crumbs
- For frying
Instructions
- Peel the potatoes and boil them in salted water until tender, about 20 minutes. Drain and mash them until smooth. Set aside to cool.
- In a skillet over medium heat, add a drizzle of oil and sauté the chopped onion until translucent. Add the minced garlic and cook for an additional minute.
- Add the ground beef to the skillet and cook, breaking it apart with a spoon until browned. Season with cumin, paprika, salt, and black pepper.
- Stir in the chopped green olives and hard-boiled eggs, mixing everything well. Remove from heat and let the filling cool.
- Take a portion of mashed potato (about 1/4 cup) and flatten it in your palm. Place a spoonful of the beef filling in the center and fold the potato over it, shaping it into a ball or oval. Repeat with the remaining ingredients.
- Roll each filled potato in bread crumbs to coat evenly.
- In a large frying pan, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat. Fry the stuffed potatoes in batches until golden brown on all sides, about 3-4 minutes per side. Drain on paper towels.
- Serve hot with your favorite dipping sauce or salsa.
