Papas Rellenas Stuffed Potato Balls

INGREDIENTS

INSTRUCTIONS

  1. Peel 4 large potatoes and cut them up into 1 inch cubes
  2. Boil potatoes until they are fork tender, make sure to add salt to the boiling water
  3. Drain Potatoes when they are finished cooking, and add to a large bowl
  4. Add 1/4 cup of butter to bowl of potatoes and mash them up until they are no more clumps of potatoes
  5. Add 1 tablespoon Blazing Star Beef Rub to season potatoes
  6. Add 2 tablespoons of Corn Starch to help bind it together, you can add one whole egg or egg yolk for a binder too
  7. Set aside potato mixture while you make beef filling(I made mine while the potatoes where boiling)
  8. Add 1 tablespoon of olive oil and 1 tablespoon of butter to pan over medium heat
  9. Add diced onions and peppers to pan, and allow them to sauté for 3-5 minutes
  10. Add minced garlic to the pan and sauté for another 2 minutes 
  11. Add 1 tablespoon of Blazing Star All In One Seasoning
  12. Add 1 tablespoon Chicken Bouillon
  13. Add 6 oz of tomato sauce and mix everything up well to incorporate
  14. Add 1lb ground beef to mixture and allow to stew in the pan
  15. Once meat is broken down and cooked well, remove from heat
  16. Drain all grease and put meat mixture in refrigerator for about an hour to cool
  17. Once mixture has hardened up a little bit, it is time to assemble the potato balls
  18. Take about 2-3 tablespoons of potato mixture and form it out into the palm of your hand. 
  19. Add 1 tablespoon of meat mixture to the center of the flattened potato mixture
  20. Gently form each side of the potato over the meat mixture until you form a ball. You might need to add more potato mixture to fill in holes
  21. I recommend putting the potato balls in the refrigerator for a little bit to firm up after rolling out all of them
  22. Mix up two eggs in a bowl
  23. Add 1 cup of panko crumbs to another bowl(add more panko if needed to finish coating all of the balls)
  24. Dredge each ball in the egg wash and then drop them in the panko to coat all sides
  25. Deep Fry Balls at 350-375 in cooking oil until golden brown on all sides
  26. Allow to cool off and serve with Bear and Burton's Breakfast Sauce Too
