Step-by-Step Instructions
- Begin by peeling and dicing about 4 large russet potatoes. Place them into a pot and cover with salted water, bringing it to a boil. Cook for approximately 15 minutes until they are fork-tender. Drain the potatoes, then mash them while still warm, incorporating salt and heavy cream to create a thick, creamy consistency.
- In a skillet, heat a tablespoon of avocado oil over medium heat. Add finely diced scallions and campari tomatoes, sautéing until they are caramelized, around 5-7 minutes. Then, stir in 1 pound of ground beef along with ground cumin and cook until the beef is browned and fully cooked, which should take about 8-10 minutes. Remember to season with salt to taste.
- Once your mashed potatoes and filling are ready, divide the potato mixture into equal portions, shaping them into discs in your hands. Place about 2 tablespoons of the beef mixture in the center of each disc, then carefully fold the edges over to create a ball, ensuring there are no openings.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together half a cup of flour, one cup of heavy cream, and two eggs until you have a smooth, thick batter. Prepare a bowl of panko crumbs nearby for optional coating.
- Heat enough avocado oil in a fryer or deep skillet to fully submerge the stuffed potato balls, approximately 350°F (175°C). Fry the papas rellenas in batches for about 8-10 minutes, or until they turn golden brown and crispy.
- Once your Beef Stuffed Potatoes are cooked to perfection, garnish with freshly chopped parsley and serve hot.
