My favourite food!

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!!!

  1. Good, Sonia.

    But, why did you write, " when the dish is armed?" Is there going to be a fight?
