I LOVE STUFFED POTATOES!! I think they are very similar to empanadas, but because the potato dough is very easy to manage, you can add so much more filling!

I prepare them when I have many guests over and I serve them as an appetizer accompanied by ají. Yes, that sauce that is made of tomatoes, onion, and cilantro we Colombians use for everything (recipe here). If you think about it, it might go well with avocado sauce.

There is no difficulty in preparing stuffed potatoes. It starts by cooking the potatoes and then making them into a dough, and then you fill the dough with ground beef, tomatoes, cumin, more spices, and most important of all, chopped hard-boiled egg. In Colombia, hard-boiled egg is known as huevo duro.

You can also add some rice or replace the meat with chicken if you want to. However, my favorites will always consist of ground beef, tomato, a bit of rice, and the huevo duro!

Do you like Colombian stuffed potatoes?

Would you like to try some in the future?
