Ingredients
For the potato mixture:
Potatoes: 4 medium-sized, boiled and peeled
Butter: 2 tablespoons
Milk: 1/4 cup
Garlic powder: 1 teaspoon
Salt: 1 teaspoon
Black pepper: 1/2 teaspoon
For the filling:
Ground beef: 1/2 pound
Onion: 1 medium-sized, finely chopped
Garlic: 2 cloves, minced
Paprika: 1 teaspoon
Cumin powder: 1/2 teaspoon
Salt: 1/2 teaspoon
Black pepper: 1/4 teaspoon
Vegetable oil: for frying
Instructions
1. Prepare the potato mixture
Start by boiling the potatoes in a pot of salted water until they are tender. Drain and mash them in a bowl, then add in the butter, milk, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper. Mix well until you have a smooth and creamy potato mixture.
2. Make the filling
In a separate pan, cook the ground beef over medium heat until it is browned. Add in the chopped onion, minced garlic, paprika, cumin powder, salt, and black pepper. Cook for another 5 minutes until the onions are soft and the spices are well incorporated into the beef.
3. Assemble the potato balls
Take a small handful of the potato mixture and flatten it in the palm of your hand. Place a spoonful of the beef filling in the center, then gather the potato mixture around it and roll it into a ball. Repeat this process until you have used up all the potato and filling.
4. Fry the potato balls
Heat up some vegetable oil in a deep pan over medium-high heat. Once the oil is hot, carefully place the potato balls in it and fry them for about 3-4 minutes, turning them occasionally, until they are golden brown and crispy on the outside.
5. Serve and enjoy
Remove the potato balls from the oil and place them on a paper towel to drain any excess oil. Serve them hot with your favorite dipping sauce and enjoy the delicious flavors of this Mexican street food classic.
