Rellenos de Papas | Puerto Rican Stuffed Potato Balls - EASY!

[@mariscookingpr]

Hi friends! A few quick things: 1. After reading your comments, I learned that “rellenos de papas” aren’t exclusive to Puerto Rican cuisine! So many cultures have their own version of this dish-how amazing is that? I love seeing how connected we all are through food. 🥹🙏🏽 2. Yes, I know my pots and pans in this video have seen better days. 🫠 No worries, though-I’ve since upgraded! Let’s just pretend we don’t see them, okay? 🤣 3. About the background music: The “ticking” sound you hear at the start is actually a soft drum-it’s part of the Lofi beat I used to set the vibe. Lol Thanks so much for watching!

What kind of oil did you use? Like, Vegetable oil, olive oil, or maybe corn oil?

[@mariscookingpr]

@@Jay.Leb. I used Canola oil

[@anitakinnear6735]

I have a Puerto Rican ex too! I told my former MIL that I wanted to learn. I love baccalo. Do you make baccala salad? And I really love plantains. So much good food. ❤

@@manuelvoss1973 It's called Porto's Bakery and Cafe on Beach Blvd in Buena Park. They do have other locations but I don't know them. The Beach location is the closest to my mom's in Cerritos. You can probably google their locations.

[@manuelvoss1973]

@@jodiebristow3210 Thanks Jodie. I didn’t expect to hear Porto’s. We’ve always thought of Porto’s as Cuban so when said “Puerto Rican” my ears popped up. Thanks for taking the time to respond

[@MrsTracey617]

Oh my gosh!! Same here!! This reminded me of my dad’s potato pancakes with garbage omelette that had everything under the sun inside that omelette from leftovers to cold cuts from the wk, he made breakfast every wknd when I was little!! N it was sooo good! I never thought to stuff the potato pancakes w leftovers n ball them up!! I’m making them this weekend for breakfast!! N I’ll bring some to dad to try!! ❤❤❤

[@LIZZIE-lizzie]

That's what makes this so great - the recipe is so adaptable to other ingredients! This is also a nice tutorial.

[@janemack8852]

I've had those only once in my life, back in the '70's, when two Puerto Rican secretaries brought them into the office where I worked. I was amazed because I thought they were just potatoes. I wasn't expecting the filling. And I recall loving the taste. Thank you for revealing the magic behind these miracles. Definitely going to try them.

[@mariscookingpr]

You are so welcome!! Let me know if you have any questions regarding the recipe!

[@DEVORAHRIBOFASA]

Shalom, yhis is my first time on your channel. The papas frita look really delicious. I'm gonna attempt to make them this weekend👍🏼. Thank You for sharing. Have a blessed beautiful day.

[@MeliNYC80]

Papas fritas means french fries or potato chips in Spanish. These are rellenos de papa because relleno literally means stuffed/filled and papa is of course potato.

Thank you for making your videos. I’m currently stationed overseas and there is no Spanish food over here. I was never the best cook so I always felt like my food came out bad but with your videos I’ve been able to cook up so much good Puerto Rican food and it makes me cry because it reminds me of home so thank you so much.❤

[@lissa4306]

New Mexico has similar rellenos made at Christmas time, however the meat & potatoes are mixed together with NM green Chile then fried in a light egg & flour batter.

[@mariscookingpr]

Omg yum! 🤤

[@yasminemedina9408]

Here in Chicago there's a few Puerto Rican restaurants that honestly they make these not tasty or make them too salty. But I have to say that yours look delicious and I like your handling technique. I'm Puerto Rican and Kno how to make these but I'm going to make them your way thanks for showing us 👍👌🤗

I tried these for the first time at Portos, oh very delicious ,and a Cuban sandwich with banana chips ,yummy

[@manuelvoss1973]

My Cuban Mother used to make these for us along with croquetas when we were young. I will definitely be making some soon. The only difference I can see from my mom's version was that she would bread them first before frying them and that we called them "Papas Rellenas." Thank you for posting this video; it reminds me of good times with the family.
