About

These mashed potatoes filled with beef and pan-fried are traditionally served as an appetizer. We, however, like having them as an entrée, accompanied with rice and salsa criolla. Use chicken, fish, seafood, mushrooms, artichokes, cheese, or soy meat in the filling to make them different every time.
