Papa Rellenas Recipe
Serves: 6
Notes:
Cuban Stuffed Potatoes (Papas Rellenas) is a very popular Cuban dish, you can serve it as snack, lunch or dinner.
Directions:
- Boil potatoes until they are fully cooked
- Drain and mash the potatoes – adding the salt, garlic powder and warm milk. (do not add butter)
- Let cool. Grab a handful of the mashed potatoes and make a small bowl (about the size of half a large golf ball), making an indentation in the middle.
- Stuff the indentations with picadillo and bring the two halves together and smooth the outside. You should have a small picadillo-stuffed potato at this point. (Repeat until you run out of potatoes or picadillo)
- Beat the eggs with water until they are fluffy.
- Dip the rellena into the beaten egg, then roll them in the breadcrumbs mixture until lightly covered. Repeat once more.
- Remove from the refrigerator and allow them to cool down to room temperature before frying
- Fill a large frying pan with enough oil to cover half a ball
- Fry each ball at least 2 minutes per side, turning once – or at least until they’re golden brown.
