Ingredients
- 2 lb russet potato peeled and chopped into eighths
- water
- ¼ cup milk
- 1 tsp garlic chopped
- ¼ tsp salt
- black pepper fresh ground, to taste
- ½ recipe for Cuban Picadillo
- 1 cup breadcrumbs
- 2 egg
- sunflower oil or vegetable oil, for frying
Instructions
Stovetop Potatoes Method
- Place the potatoes in a large pot. Fill with enough water to cover the potatoes. Cover with a lid and bring the water to a boil. Allow to boil until the potatoes are easily pierced by a fork, about 15 minutes.
Instant Pot Potatoes Method
- Place 2 cups of water and your chopped potatoes into your Instant Pot and secure the lid. Turn the pressure to HIGH and cook for 6 minutes. When the cooking cycle is complete, perform a Quick Release
- When the potatoes are tender, drain the water. Use a potato masher to mash the potatoes. Add the milk, garlic, salt and pepper. Use the masher to mash until the potatoes are smooth.
- In your hand, use about 2 tbsp of mashed potatoes. Form them into your hand, in a bowl shape. Place a spoonful of picadillo in the center of the bowl. Fold the mashed potatoes over, closing the picadillo inside.
- Whisk the egg in a separate bowl. Place the breadcrumbs in a shallow bowl.
- Roll each mashed potato ball in the whisked egg. Then roll it in the breadcrumbs.
- Heat the oil to about 375 degrees. Place each breaded mashed potato ball in the oil and allow to fry for about 2 minutes on each side until it turns golden brown. Enjoy
