Why I Love This Recipe

I learned this recipe from my father. We use to have a restaurant and he was famous for this dish. He takes proud of his stuffed potatoes. When he fry them, they never fall appart in the oil, his trick is to have the oil at the rigth temperature and not to fry too many at once. Perfect dad!! I got it!!

5 pounds of potatoes
1/2 cup of corn starch
2 envelops os sazon
salt & pepper to taste
1 pound of picadillo (cooked ground beef)
deep calduron for frying and oil


Directions

1. Take a big pot and fill it with water.


2. Boil the potatoes until tender, you do not need to peel the potatoes.


3. Cook the meat in the mean time like if you were making meet for pasta.


5. When the potatoes are done, let them cool and peel the sking.


6. Smash them with out any liquid, add the sazon, salt & pepper.
