Recipe(tried): Papas Rellena (Stuffed Potato Balls)...

Misc.
Hello Everyone!

Last night we had a delightful meal and now I have some picadillo left over...I remember my Mama always having this meal the day after. She didn't waste any food back then and it makes perfect good sense to have this afterwards with some fried sweet plantains.

This dish is mashed potatoes seasoned with salt and pepper and rounded into 3-inch balls; in the middle is the picadillo (Cuban meat hash) and then they are breaded and fried until golden brown.
I remember them so fondly from childhood and always looked forward to Mama serving them!

P.S. I posted the recipe for Picadillo on Saturday.
Enjoy!Papas Rellena (Stuffed Mashed Potato Balls)

Makes 8 balls

2 lbs. potatoes, peeled and diced
salt and pepper to taste
1 c. picadillo
1 large egg, slightly beaten
1/2 c. cracker meal
oil for frying

Cook the potatoes in salted water til tender, drain and mash and season with salt and pepper. When at room temperature, you can work with it.

Take a handful of mashed potatoes, shape into a 3-inch ball and with your thumb, push down in the middle to make a well. Fill with 2 T. picadillo and then reshape ball to enclose meat in it. Roll in egg, then in cracker meal. Repeat until all 8 balls are made. Put on a platter, cover with saran wrap and refrigerate for 1 hour.

Fry the balls until they are golden on all sides. Drain and serve hot.
