Gallitos De Papa from Costa Rica image

Another imitation from my trip to Costa Rica. A very typical side dish- potatoes cooked and served on corn tortillas, called "gallitos" in Costa Rica. ("Papas" are potatoes).

Time 30m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 7

3 large potatoes
2 garlic cloves, chopped finely
3 tablespoons vegetable oil
1 teaspoon sugar
1 teaspoon paprika (if you can find it) or 1 teaspoon ground annatto seed (if you can find it)
4 corn tortillas
2 teaspoons chopped coriander, if desired, as garnish

Steps:

  • Peel potatoes and dice into small pieces.
  • Sauté the finely chopped garlic in the oil and add some salt, about 1 teaspoon.
  • Add the potatoes, sugar, and paprika.
  • Cover the pan and cook on low heat, about 20 minutes, adding water as needed to prevent the potatoes from sticking.

  • Garnish, to taste, with chopped coriander, salt, and pepper.
  • Also, a little sour cream or salsa is often served as an accompaniment.
