"Pappas rellenos"? stuffed potatoes.

Boiled potatoes, mashed, mixed with a little corn starch, egg.

Wrapped around whatever - traditionally, I think, spicy pork sausage.
I like cabbage and beans along with the meat. Might do corn this
time. Bland ouatyside

oops. hit the wrong button. Bland outside, spicy inside. Deep fried,
breaded in whatever crumbs you have if you want.

I think "relleo"is "stuffed"

This recipie wouldn't pass on the other group, but works here, eh?

Oh, wow. When I did a google image search on "papas rellenas", I almost
had a foodgasm. Those look so GOOD!

One of our favorites to get at the Cuban bakery in Glendale, El
Porto. Their menu describes them this way, where they've made up the
name "potato ball":
Potato Ball™ - stuffed potato (Papa rellena) - mashed potato filled
with seasoned ground beef, breaded, and fried… Everyone’s favorite!"

I've not tried to make them, figuring it would take too much practice
to get the breading and frying techniques right. But maybe ... you
have any tips? -aem

I'd never heard of them until now either. Sounds positively evil. <g>
Bet they'd go just dandy with a little beef gravy!

Hmmm. I am thinking one could play with a pappas rellenos version
of a tamale pie. Gee, that's worded poorly. How about you could
construct something in the same way that tamale pies are
constructed. Of course, the results are never as good, but maybe
worth playing with.

Oh, super simple. A handfull of potato, egg and starch for binder,
add a wad of fried sausage, veg, whatever you like or have. Fold
it. Bread with bread or crackers or Kellogs or panko or potato
chips. Deep fry . Peasant food. No problem. It's good today or
tomorrow. Ketchup, salsa, vinegar, fish sauce, all good.

Puree an onion in a mini-chopper, adding a bit of water if necessary. Heat
oil or ghee in a pan. When hot, add a stick of cinnamon and a couple whole
cloves. Cook briefly and remove spices. Add onion puree and about two
teaspoons of curry powder. (Alternatively, you can add the individual spices
which comprise curry powder. They typically include turmeric, cumin,
fenugreek, cloves, and garlic powder.) Cook until the oil starts to separate
back out. You can serve at this point, or (1) add coconut milk or (2) add
garbanzo flour and yogurt, then cook until thickened.

<rolls eyes> I was kidding dear!

The crossposts that do appear are messy enough and I'm guilty of not
always paying attention to the fact that they _are_ crossposted and not
snipping, but I try...

I've killfiled a couple of those today, along with some of their nastier
posters.

think we should antagonize them.

Thanks for posting this. I'd never heard of them and googling said
relleno de papa was the Puerto Rican version so I asked my Puerto
Rican buddie to check his cookbooks. It looks a bit different than
the Mexican one but they both look like a fun thing to make.

I've never made these but I've deep fried mashed potato patties many
times. You gotta use wet hands when forming. Do the egg dip and the
breading and I've found a wok is the best thing for the frying. It's
easiest to turn them to get an even browning.

Yup. We used to frequent a tapas place close by here that did a
