Ecuador

Ecuador (#8) Llapingachos con Salsa de Mani y Curtido

I discovered this recipe during my search for empanadas.  There are so many You Tube videos for llapingachos and similar cheesed stuffed potato recipes from South America.  I settled on the version from laylita.com.  I boiled three large Yukon golds then mashed them and added diced sauteed onions flavored with achiote powder.  The potatos are shaped into a ball, an indentation is made and filled with cheese.  The ball is then pressed into a patty and browned in oil.  The Salsa de Mani is made with a mixture of peanuts, milk, onions, tomatoes, achiote and red pepper flakes - an unusual combination which is commonly served with the potatoes.  The curtido is simply red onions with a dash of olive oil, lime juice and vinegar.
