How to make Relleno de Papa (Puerto Rican Potato Croquette) - Easy Puerto Rican Recipe

[@EmmieTime]

I found your content because I was feeling nostalgic for my Abuelo, it felt nice to find people who cook the way he used to, I wasn't very connected to my own Puerto Rican heritage as a kid so it felt nice to find something that reminded me of him and the things he did get to teach me before he passed. Thank you.

[@JeffandJosPuertoRicanKitchen]

You’re welcome

[@vanessaeslinger8964]

I am grateful to have found you. Your pernil recipe is a game changer and we use it often!!!!

[@lrappii]

Just discovered your channel, love it! From Cayey Puerto Rico, campecina. Now in San Diego California, missing my island like crazy. 🙁

[@JeffandJosPuertoRicanKitchen]

Oh wow, Cayey is such a great place! I've passed through there tons of times of the way to Jobos Beach 👌👌 And I hear you about missing the Island! 😢 Nothing like la Isla Del Encanto!

[@hectahc]

[@JeffandJosPuertoRicanKitchen]

Thank you!! What spicy sauce would you recommend??

[@janetortiz2889]

@@JeffandJosPuertoRicanKitchen Well, if you don't like very hot, Goya. If you like hot, Sriracha.

[@nancyramos1969]

Looks delicious

[@JeffandJosPuertoRicanKitchen]

Thank you! It really is!

[@Wanda_Jannette]

Yo siempre quize aprender hacer papa rellena pero mi madre nunca las hacia sino que mi papá ya las compraba premade y NO argh sorry but I love homemade everything I'm a foodie. So gonna go with your recipe WEPA!! Muchas gracias Jeff por tú dedicación a este canal I do appreciated.

[@JeffandJosPuertoRicanKitchen]

Enjoy!!!

[@mildredbosque7147]

Thank you thank you for this recipe. What I like about it is that it's so simply. Buen provecho Jeff 😁 Looks amazing and delicious. Love rellenos de papa one of my favorites to eat when we visit the huts at Loiza. Thanks for always sharing your expertise in the tecture of these rellenos for not everyone love to use eggs as you said I also think it makes the batter heavy. God bless and hope you are taking care of each other. Miss Jo and you doing a video together 😉😁❤

[@JeffandJosPuertoRicanKitchen]

Thanks Mildred!! Really appreciate the love and encouragement :) We'll have to bring back the joint Jeff/Jo format one of these days :p

[@crazyramus]

Buen provecho Jeff !

[@JeffandJosPuertoRicanKitchen]

Gracias!

[@honeymoon4130]

Such a classic snack! This is my son and my husband’s favorite 🥰 my personal favorite is alcapurrias. Either way, they keep me very busy in the kitchen! Every item made with love xoxo excellent video 💗

Thank you!

[@rxlo1062]

Looks delicioso 😋🇵🇷

[@JeffandJosPuertoRicanKitchen]

Thank you!! It was super yummy!

[@last_raven]

My heart stopping watching this. Feeling nostalgic for medalla and rellenos at la guancha

[@JeffandJosPuertoRicanKitchen]

You can make it at home and order some Medallas online.

[@angelgabriel4642]

They are delicious. I got a bit of a mexican twist to it😉

[@JeffandJosPuertoRicanKitchen]

Please share your mexican twist!! Would love to give it a try!

[@rosemarycarrasquillo7111]

Jo and Jeff - what can i substitute for tomatoes sauce? Im allergic to tomatoes. Any suggestion? Thank you.

[@vanessaeslinger8964]

Could you answer a question for me? I am going to try your papas rellenas recipe today and I am wondering if I could make them, refrigerate and then fry tomorrow?

[@XRPKINGS]

Can you do a recipe for the Florecitas Cookies?

[@JeffandJosPuertoRicanKitchen]

We are on it!

[@blissfulhumanoid9536]

I am going to be making these later on today in honor of The National Puerto Rican Heritage Celebration Parade. But, I quite honestly don’t ever use cornstarch. Can these be made with just all purpose flour, and all of the other ingredients you mentioned minus the cornstarch? Please help

[@JeffandJosPuertoRicanKitchen]

You can try but the cornstarch really helps. Potatoes have a lot of moisture

[@alfredoalicea3586]

Yo diría papa rellena , pues la rellenan .

[@darlenelattan755]

Sometimes in ny we make a egg shape .. 😘😘😍

[@JeffandJosPuertoRicanKitchen]

Thanks for sharing! I'll have to try that sometime. Any tips for how to shape it so it keeps its form while frying?

[@jacelynrivera1172]

Would it be possible to freeze them then use as wanted ?

[@JeffandJosPuertoRicanKitchen]

Yes!! Just make sure you wrap them well and separate them from each other so they don’t stick in the freezer.

[@jeanetteacevedo4722]

Is it possible to bake them instead of frying them.

[@JeffandJosPuertoRicanKitchen]

That's a great question Jeanette! Honestly, I've never tried it but would have to think there's a way to do it. You'll definitely want to make sure the dough is really dry, or else I'd be concerned about it falling apart while it bakes.

[@JeffandJosPuertoRicanKitchen]

Also, if there's anyone else on here that's tried to bake them, please let us know and how it went for you. Thanks!

[@parmodsharma4576]

How about air fryer? Can it be. Done?

Bomba pa siempre

[@ismaelmelendez1970]

I finally made these and mine just disintegrated in the oil. 😞. I coated the relleno same way. dunno what I did wrong?

[@Janemas]

Maybe the type of potato. Baking, boiling, or frying potato?

[@JeffandJosPuertoRicanKitchen]

Cook them at a higher temperature and yes, try to remove as much moisture out of the potatoes as you can.

[@bethtrinh9194]

Mine fell apart😢

[@JeffandJosPuertoRicanKitchen]

Oh no! When you were frying it??

[@Janemas]

No close up of the dish.

[@JeffandJosPuertoRicanKitchen]

Aww sorry! Were you trying to see the consistency or something else?

@@JeffandJosPuertoRicanKitchen see how it looks when done and the inside. The final product.

Quien le dijo a este señor que la papa rellena es puertoriqueña,eso es cubano

[@JeffandJosPuertoRicanKitchen]

Pedro, gracias por ver el video y su comentario. No sé donde usted se crió o vive actualmente, pero rellenos de papa son sumamente común en Puerto Rico. En cualquier cafeteria o kiosko donde venden frituras siempre hay rellenos de papa. No le puedo decir que estos fueron inventados en Puerto Rico, pero ciertamente son y han sido parte de la dieta puertorriqueña por mucho tiempo. www.tastingpuertorico.com/rellenos-de-papa/ www.ricanrecipes.com/recipes/detail.php?id=109 www.kitchengidget.com/2016/02/11/puerto-rican-papas-rellenas-stuffed-potatoes-croquette/

[@JeffandJosPuertoRicanKitchen]

Pedro, bienvenido desde Cuba a nuestro canal! Me parece entonces que los rellenos de papa son común en Cuba también pero eso no invalida que sean populares en Puerto Rico y es una receta que a los puertorriqueños nos gusta mucho.

[@josematias3180]

Yo soy Puertoriqueno i e ido a cuba por 10 años i todavía ni en un carnaval e visto relleno de papa

[@Flippvegaz138]

Nasty oil...

[@dry413]

That meat looks like its rotten, its suppose to be at least pink....

[@JeffandJosPuertoRicanKitchen]

Well, I can guarantee that I ate it and it didn't kill me 🤣 Think it might have been out of the freezer, so perhaps that contributed.

[@thomaskeene5183]

Meat oxidizes with oxygen and loses the pink color. Def not rotten

[@cyrilpiwetz8680]

You lost me at shock your potatoes... amateur and rookie. You let them steam out silly goose. The cold water would only be absorbed, diluting the flavor.

[@JeffandJosPuertoRicanKitchen]

Thanks for your insight chef!

[@rainlazu7136]

"you silly goose" 😂

[@iv0samanez160]

Se llama papa rellena y es típico de la cocina peruana al igual que la "causa".
