Ingredients

  • 1 pound carne de sol, shredded (salted dried meat, such as tender jerked or corned beef, makes a good substitute)
  • 3 large Idaho potatoes, peeled

Method

In a medium saucepan, add the meat and enough water to cover. Bring to a rolling boil over medium-high heat for 5 minutes and remove the meat. Depending on the saltiness of the meat, repeat the process up to 3 more times with fresh water to remove the salt. If the meat is still too salty, repeat the process one more time with fresh water. During the last water change, reduce the heat and simmer
