Potato Arepas recipe
This is an easy recipe to make. It basically consists of substituting all or part of the corn flour for a dough or mashed potatoes.If you want to give the dough a little more consistency, you can add a little flour, either corn or wheat flour. If you want it totally made of potato, you must be more careful when shaping the arepas.
Ingredients
- 1 kg White potatoes
- 1 tbsp Butter
- 1 pizca Black pepper
- 4 tbsp Wheat flour
- 1 pizca Salt
- 200 gr Moazzarella Cheese
Instructions
- Place a pot with enough water over medium heat to boil or parboil the potatoes. This allows us to save a little time while preparing the potatoes.
- Wash well and proceed to peel the potatoes, which must be very clean to obtain an impeccable dough.
- We chop the potatoes in equal sizes and place them in the pot with hot water, being careful not to burn them when the water splashes. Add a little salt.
- Let them boil for about 20 minutes or until they are soft. Remove from the pot and place in a container, let stand just a little and begin to mash with a fork before they cool.
- We add a tablespoon of butter to give more flavor and texture to the dough. We also add black pepper and check if it is well salted.
- Now we add wheat flour, about three or four tablespoons, to give more consistency to the dough and to be able to form the arepas.
- We start shaping the arepas, leaving a space to place the cheese inside them.
- Close the arepas carefully so that all the cheese is covered and put them to cook in a greased pan or frying pan.
- Cook until golden brown and ready to eat.
