Cooking Instructions
- 1
The first thing you want to do is get your picadillo together. For that you need about a pound of ground beef, 2 sazon packets, about 1/4 cup sofrito (homemade or store bought), about 1/8 cup diced green olives, 1/2 green pepper diced, half an onion diced, I clove garlic minced. Put some olive oil in a skillet and add the green pepper and onion, cook until tender. Add the beef and all the rest of the ingredients and cook until done. Let cool, put in a container, pop it in the fridge.

Peel and cut up about 6 to 8 good sized potatoes. Put in a pan with water and salt, bring to a boil and cook until fork tender. Drain and mash the potatoes well with a fork. Place in the fridge to get cold.
- 3
Once the potatoes are cold you can handle them. Grab a hand full about the size of a golf ball. Roll it in a ball, then poke a hole in the middle and start to firm a cup. Put some of the picadillo mixture in the center then cup the potato up over the meat and roll into a ball. Continue doing that until all the potatoes are gone.
- 4
To make your batter mix the flour and some salt then add the eggs and mix well. It's OK if it's not perfectly smooth.
- 5
Heat oil in a sauce pan or deep fryer or skillet whatever you prefer.
- 6
Dip the potato balls in the batter and place into the oil to fry. Fry until golden on all sides. Let cool a minute or so, serve it up along side some meat and Beans and rice and enjoy! There great on their own as well!
