Steps:
- Add the olive oil to a skillet on medium heat, add the garlic and sauté until translucent. Add the onion and stir until it is slightly brown. Once the onions just turn a little brown add the tomato and cook until very soft.
- Cook the ground beef on medium hight heat until brown and crop into very fine pieces like rice.
- Once the beef and brown add the sofrito, adobo, sazón, aji amarillo, dried oregano, black pepper and saffron. Stir very will to combine and allow to simmer for 2-3 minutes.
- Place the beef in a large baking dish, spread it out and allow to cool.
- Bring a pot of water to boil with the cut pieces of potatoes and add the salt.
- Check the potatoes with a fork for softness. Once very soft drain them and rinse with cold water.
- Mash or use a potato ricer to get the potatoes very smooth with no lumps.
- Spread them out in the bowl and allow to cool. Once they are just warm to the touch add the beaten egg and corn starch then mix to combine. You should have a soft dough that is slightly firm and will hold a shape. Add more corn starch a little at a time to get the right consistency.
- I like to use an ice cream scooper to get the size papas rellena ball. Flatten the ball in the palm of your hand.
- Take about 1 Tbsp of the cooled beef filling and place in the center of the circle.
- Gently squeeze the sides up around the filling to encapsulate it and form a ball.
- Roll the ball in corn meal and set aside until ready to fry. I like to place all mine in the freezer for 10-15 minutes to firm them up before frying.
- Heat oil to 350°F and fry the papas rellenas until they are golden brown.

PERUVIAN STYLE STUFFED POTATOES
For many years this has been one of my favorite dishes in my home; it is also one of the most traditional Peruvian appetizers- popular throughout homes and restaurants everywhere in Peru. To achieve the desired result, it's important to prepare the potatoes so that they have a slightly-sticky texture; this will help maintain their shape after being filled. If the potatoes turn out too grainy, it will be impossible to maintain a firm outer layer and the filled potatoes will fall apart once fried. An excellent filled potato should be golden-brown on the outside, while being soft and tender on the inside, with a tasty filling that creates an explosion of flavors. The filling should be a little spicy, but with a sweet touch added by the raisins. The black olives add another note of flavor. Normally medium-sized, Peruvian stuffed potatoes are typically served only with salsa criolla- a delicious sauce featuring a mix of red onion and yellow chili peppers. I personally prefer large stuffed potatoes served with rice.

Steps:
- Place the whole, unpeeled potatoes in a large pot with plenty of water. Bring to a boil and cook on medium-high heat until the potatoes are tender, around 25 to 30 minutes.
- Next, peel the potatoes while still hot and crush them using a potato masher or a fork. Add salt and pepper, and mix well. Afterwards, cover the potatoes with a cloth while preparing the filling.
- In a frying pan, heat 1/4 cup vegetable oil over medium heat. Add the onion and garlic. Cook for seven minutes or until the onion looks transparent. Incorporate the panca pepper paste into the mix, if you are using it, and add the tomato paste. Cook for four minutes, then add-in the ground beef, salt and pepper. Stir well and cover with a lid.
- Lower the heat and continue cooking while covered for 15 more minutes. Add 1/2 cup water if you think it's necessary, to make sure that the filling remains juicy. Next, stir-in the hard boiled eggs, raisins, black olives and parsley. Immediately turn off the heat and let cool to room temperature.
- With floured hands, knead the mashed potatoes for a few seconds. Take a portion of mashed potatoes and form a ball first. Then flatten the ball in your hand to make a thick "tortilla" that is a bit hollow in the center.
- In the center of the section, add a portion of the meat filling. Close the "tortilla" as if it was an empanada and give it an oval shape. Dip each filled potato in the beaten eggs and roll in the flour, shaking off any access powder.
- Heat the remaining 1/2 cup of vegetable oil in a sautée pan and fry the stuffed potatoes, turning over every four minutes or until completely golden-brown. They should have a fine crispy surface when finished. Let any excess oil drain-off over a paper towel and serve hot with the prepared salsa criolla.

PAPA RELLENA: PERUVIAN STUFFED POTATOES
Steps:
- Gather the ingredients.
- Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Cook the unpeeled potatoes until they are tender when pierced with a fork, about 25 minutes.
- Once the potatoes are cooked, drain them in a colander.
- When they are cool enough to handle, peel and mash the potatoes thoroughly (or pass them through a potato ricer ).
- Season the mashed potatoes with salt and pepper to taste. Chill the potatoes uncovered for several hours, or overnight.
- Once the potatoes are very cold, stir the egg into the mashed potatoes until well mixed.
- Cook the egg in boiling water until hard-boiled and set aside.
- Heat the vegetable oil in a skillet. Add the onions, garlic, and aji pepper and cook until soft and fragrant.
- Add the cumin and paprika and cook 2 minutes more, stirring.
- Add the ground beef and cook until browned.
- Add the beef broth and the raisins and simmer for 10 to 15 minutes more, or until most of the liquid is gone.
- Stir in the green olives, if using.
- Season the mixture with salt and pepper to taste. Remove from the heat and let cool.
- Peel the hard-boiled egg and chop it into about 6 pieces.
- With floured hands, place about 1/4 cup of mashed potatoes in one hand, and make a well in the center.
- Fill the well with 1 to 2 tablespoons of the beef mixture and a piece of hard-boiled egg.
- Mold the potatoes around the beef, adding more potato if necessary to fully enclose the filling. Shape into an oblong oval with slightly pointy ends, about the size of a medium potato.
- Repeat with the rest of the ingredients; you should be able to make 6 croquettes. Coat each papa rellena generously with flour.
- In a deep skillet or deep-fat fryer , heat 2 inches of oil to 360 F. Set the oven to 200 F.
- Fry the potatoes in batches until they are golden brown.
- Drain them on a plate lined with paper towels. Keep the papa rellena warm in the oven until ready to serve.
- Serve with a side of ketchup, if desired, and enjoy.
