Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. In a hot pan, brown the dried potatoes and pour them into a bowl of water to hydrate them.
  2. Once hydrated (you’ll be able to tell, since they’ll be swollen), rinse them well and let them drain.
  3. Now, in a pot, fry the pieces of meat in very hot oil and season it with the garlic and salt. Then put it aside.
  4. In the same pot, fry the onion very well, then add the ají panca, and the garlic, and let it all brown. Then stir to integrate the ingredients well.
  5. Finally, put in the dried potatoes and add the broth as it thickens until everything is cooked, then mix it with the meat that you put aside and let it boil.
  6. Serve the stew with the boiled Yucca.
