For Filling: Place cubed potatoes in medium pot with chicken bouillon; add enough cold water to cover potatoes completely. Place pot over medium-high heat; bring water to boil then reduce heat to medium-low. Simmer until potatoes are completely tender, about 20 minutes. Drain potatoes; transfer to same pot. Using fork or potato masher, lightly mash potatoes; set aside.

Meanwhile, heat oil in large skillet over medium-high heat. Add onion and pepper; cook, stirring occasionally until soft, about 8 minutes. Add scallions, cilantro and garlic. Cook, stirring, until scallions begin to soften, about 1 minute. Stir in tomatoes; cook until water from tomatoes evaporates, about 4 minutes more. Add ground beef and pork; season with Sazón and Adobo. Cook, breaking up meat with wooden spoon until browned and cooked through, about 8 minutes. Transfer pork and beef filling to large heat-proof bowl and stir in mashed potatoes; let sit until steam subsides. Refrigerate until cold

Heat 2" oil in large, heavy pot over medium-high heat until oil registers 350°f on deep-fry thermometer. Alternately, heat oil in deep fryer to 350°F.
