Rellenos De Papa (Stuffed Mashed Potatoes) image

I found this one at a Puerto Rican website (El Boricua.com) when I was not able to get a hold of GMa to tell me how to make them. :) It makes the process way much simple than the traditional. Yummy yummy!

Time 50m

Yield 7 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 11

2 cups water
7 tablespoons margarine
salt and pepper
1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
1 cup milk
4 cups instant potato flakes
1 egg
3 tablespoons cornstarch (for dusting rellenos)
1 lb prepared ground beef or 1 lb pork, seasoned with
sofrito sauce
oil (for frying)

Steps:

  • Bring water to a boil and remove from heat.
  • Add margarine, salt, pepper, garlic powder, and milk. Stir until the margarine is melted.
  • Add the potato flakes. The mixture should be pretty thick and dry.
  • Add a slightly beaten egg and mix well.
  • Let the potatoes sit to cool down.
  • Divide potato mixture into 6 balls.
  • Sprinkle corn starch on one hand and carefully spread one of the potato balls on your hand pushing down in the middle.
  • Place a tablespoon of prepared picadillo in the middle carefully folding the sides over the meat until it is completely sealed.
  • Roll the stuffed balls in corn starch - this will help keep the mixture together during frying.
  • Fry over medium-high heat until golden.
  • Note: all purpose flour can be used instead of cornstarch.
