Papas Rellena is a traditional Latin dish and every country has its own variation. I am sharing the Colombian version of Papas Rellenas. They are made with potatoes, formed into balls, stuffed with meat or vegetables dipped in a batter and fried.
Papas Rellenas are a popular Colombian food that we eat for breakfast or as a snack. You can serve these Colombian Stuffed Potatoes hot or cold and they are delicious with ají sauce. Colombians have different versions of Papas Rellenas. I called my aunt in Florida to get my grandmother’s recipe for this one. Some people add cooked egg and rice to the meat filling. I have included a vegetarian version too.
