These delicious stuffed potatoes I learned to prepare thanks to my mother, she made them at home once a week for breakfast or sometimes to drink something after lunch, I love to eat them accompanied with pink sauce or sometimes with chili pepper.
Nowadays, it is prevalent for them to sell them in some coffee shops or in street stalls where they also sell empanadas. When I do not prepare them at home, I go to one of these places to eat them. The fillings change according to where or who makes them, the most common is ground meat, but they also prepared with chicken, sausage, or pork.
The most beautiful of our Colombian cuisine is the diversity of dishes that you can prepare, the variety of ingredients with which you can make them. In this case, the fillings are many. You can play with your imagination. You can even skip any meat, to create your own vegetarian stuffed potato version.
I hope you enjoy preparing this recipe for stuffed potatoes.
