• Boil the potatoes in a good amount of water with salt. Once boiled, peel and mash them when they are still hot. Then, mix potatoes with manioc in a big bowl and add eggs, butter, salt and pepper. Stir thoroughly until it is consistent and let it cool.
• The stuff is prepared by frying lightly onion, chopped meat, garlic, "panca"hot pepper, tomato, oregano and raisins in a large saucepan. Leave them cook for a while and add, from time to time, a splash of white wine. When it had dried a bit, add cheese, olives , pieces of hard-boiled eggs and season.
• Take a portion of mashed potato and flatten it against the palm of your hand and place a portion of the stuff in the middle .You should take enough mashed potato so that you can make an elongated ball after having placed the stuff. When your " papa rellena" is ready, that is to say, compact, roll it in flour and then dip it in beaten eggs. Fry at low temperature in a good amount of oil. Serve it with "criolla" sauce.
