Ingredients
- 5 large potatoes
- 40 g butter (optional)
- 2 beaten eggs
- breadcrumbs
- 1 cup of prepared picadillo, or grated cheese, or fish stew.
- oil
- salt
- black pepper
Instructions
Preparation:
Prepare the mashed potatoes:
- Wash, peel, and cut the potatoes into medium pieces.
- Boil the potatoes in salted water to taste until they are soft.
- Drain the water and mash the potatoes until you achieve a thick puree. (Avoid adding milk or too much butter to maintain the proper consistency).
- Add a pinch of pepper to the mashed potatoes if you like and let them cool.
Form the balls:
- With your hands, take a portion of the mash and shape it into a ball.
- Hollow out the center and add the filling of your choice (it can be meat, cheese, vegetables, etc.).
- Cover the filling with more purée and shape it well to seal.
Breading:
- Beat the eggs in a bowl.
- Pass the potato balls through the beaten egg and then through the breadcrumbs.
- Place them on a plate or tray, ensuring they do not touch each other so they maintain their shape.
Fry:
- Fry the stuffed potatoes in hot oil, turning them carefully so they brown evenly on all sides.
- Remove the excess oil with paper towels before serving.
Ready to enjoy! Golden on the outside and soft on the inside, they are perfect as an appetizer, side dish, or main course.
