How to Make Peruvian Stuffed Potatoes Papa Rellena
- Boil Potatoes: Place quartered potatoes in a large pot and cover with salted water. Bring to a boil and cook until tender (about 15-20 minutes).
- Mash Potatoes: Drain potatoes and let them cool slightly. Mash them thoroughly using a potato masher or ricer.
- Prepare Potato Dough: Add the egg to the mashed potatoes and mix until well combined and smooth. Set aside.
- Sauté Filling Ingredients: Heat 1/4 cup vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add onion and garlic and sauté until softened and golden (about 5 minutes).
- Cook Ground Beef: Add ground beef to the skillet and cook, breaking it up with a spoon, until browned. Drain off any excess grease.
- Add Remaining Filling Ingredients: Stir in the diced tomatoes, parsley, cilantro, olives, chopped hard-boiled eggs, and raisins. Season with salt, pepper, and paprika. Simmer for 5 minutes.
- Assemble Papa Rellena: Lightly flour your hands. Take a portion of the potato mixture (about 1/2 cup) and flatten it in your palm. Place a tablespoon of the meat filling in the center.
- Shape and Fry: Fold the potato dough over the filling, pinching the edges to seal completely. Shape into an oval. Repeat with the remaining potato and filling.
- Fry Papa Rellena: Heat about 1 inch of vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Carefully place the papa rellena in the hot oil and fry until golden brown and crispy on all sides (about 3-4 minutes per side).
- Serve: Remove papa rellena from the skillet and drain on paper towels. Serve hot with white rice and a side of your favorite Peruvian sauce (onion creole sauce is recommended).
