This is one of my favorite childhood dishes. I used to think it was too hard to make, but I gave it a try and here it is.

Steps

1 hour

1

Boil the potatoes until tender. Peel and mash them, season with salt and pepper, then knead until you have a smooth dough.
2

In a skillet, heat oil and sauté the garlic and onion. Add the yellow chili pepper paste, then add the ground beef. Season with salt and pepper and cook for 15 minutes.
3

Add the hard-boiled eggs, raisins, and olives. Stir, then turn off the heat and let the filling cool.
4

With floured hands, knead the potato mixture. Take half of it, shape it into a ball, then flatten it into a thick patty, making a small well in the center with your palm.
5

Place half of the meat filling in the center, close it up like an empanada, shaping it into an oval. Repeat with the remaining potato and filling.
6

Heat 1/2 cup of oil in a skillet and fry the two stuffed potatoes, turning every 4 minutes until they are golden brown all over.
