These stuffed potatoes are actually called 'papas rellenas' which translates straight across to -hold your breathe now - stuffed potatoes. They are typically a Cuban dish, from what I understand, and they are simply mashed potatoes filled with seasoned meat and deep fried.
My papas rellenas have a delicious spiced pork mixture wrapped with mashed potatoes mixed with egg and coated in cornmeal then fried. These guys are a handy first course, appetizer or just a plain old snack - I like to eat them with simple Louisiana hot sauce, Texas Pete or whatever local vinegar hot sauce you like.

I've never heard of these, but they sound delicious!
sheesh.. You're like a serial blogger, man! Are you doing one post a day? Okay, hand-over the stuffed tater with Texas pete. Nice snack!
mmm--its like french fries pretending to be hush puppies!! (and I bet they taste even better)
The quintessential meat and potatoes whittled down to it's most basic form. Brilliant.
I love most potato based food! I'm not so much into deep frying myself but I would sure try those if you had a couple to spare! Mmm! potatotreat with a surprise inside!! I like!
anything with potatoes.....yummy...and then you deep fry those suckers? oh yaaaaaaaa

joy: good way to use up leftovers
zen: I thought it was a good idea to say publicly at the beginning of this year that I would do 365 posts this year - it has not been a joy ride...and about the screamer-I will mention it to her....

I have been wanting to make these lately, with mashed plantains, or 'Mafungo' which is like our version of mashed potatoes and garlic I have made and had in Porto Rico. Yours look very tasty!
beth: all its missing is cheese!
buff: Cuban -
chef e: I love mofongo - fried cracklins and all
Sounds heavenly!
Dude food. You won't find me eating any fried mashed potatoes - maybe because I don't like potatoes?
What's not to like with a fried potato item?! This could be changed up all kinds of ways too. I'm already getting ideas...
i could eat a ton of those!
anndi: heavenly - and fluffy and fried!
marjie: "dude food" thats it I am going to come up with more and do a "dude food" post

Those look so delicious! A seriously kicked up version of my Cheesy Mashed Potato Cakes! Wonder how those would have turned out if I deep fried them... ;-)
Thanks for sharing!
I held my breath...but not for long - por que yo hablo espanol fluentamente.

mandi: insert evil laugh here...
michelle: I will have to check those out....these would be great with cheese
darius: fantastico mi amigo
These are really popular in SoCal due to people finding them at a local Cuban bakery, I found theirs rather dry. I think I'll have to try these some because yours looks rather moist!
