One of my favourites dishes ever is the smashed potato cake, it includes potato, obiously, meat, onions, olives, eggs and spices. It's veeery tasty and one of the things i like the most is that i eat it only in a few ocations... i usually eat noddles with meat sauce or something easy to cook like that.
I like this food very much, but i don't know it's origins... i searched for it, but i could not find something right, some places said it was invented in Perú, in the Andes area, other said it was an argentienian plate, and other said it a chilean traditional dish, so i really dont' know where it came from.
But it doesn't mater, it's tasty anyway... but a little long to prepare:
- First, you have to boil the potatoes
- then, you have to smashe them
- you have to prepare "pino" separatedly: it's ground meat mixed with chopped onions
- and you put two to three eggs to boil, when they are ready, you cut them in a few pieces.
- those are the main ingedients, in a fount, you put part of the smashed potatoes, then, you put the "pino".
- and you put the pieces of boiled egg here and there
- you can add spices too... as many as you like (salt, pepper, merken - whic is a kind of chili, very tasty-, paprika, and others)
- you put the rest of the smashed potatoes over the "pino"... and the result is three "layers": smashed potato - pino - smashed potato
- when the dish is armed, you put it on the oven and wait about 20 minutes... and you have a delicious food =D!!!

Good, Sonia.
ReplyDeleteBut, why did you write, " when the dish is armed?" Is there going to be a fight?
