Boiled Potatoes Colombian Style (Papas Chorreadas) image

This side dish is essentially boiled potatoes with a sauce consisting of a sofrito (mixture of tomatoes and herbs) with cheese poured over top. If you don't like some of the flavors (like cilantro) you can substitute what you do like (like parsley). A simple, versatile side dish that goes well with any meat dish. The recipe calls for white cheese which can be white cheddar or use Swiss or Monterey Jack, whatever you like.

Tips:

  • For perfect papas chorreadas, use starchy potatoes like russet or Yukon Gold. These potatoes will hold their shape well when cooked.
  • Cut the potatoes into even-sized pieces so that they cook evenly.
  • Soak the potatoes in cold water for at least 30 minutes before cooking. This will help to remove excess starch and prevent the potatoes from sticking together.
  • Boil the potatoes in salted water until they are tender but still firm. Do not overcook the potatoes, or they will become mushy.
  • Drain the potatoes and let them cool slightly before frying.
  • Heat the oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Fry the potatoes in batches until they are golden brown and crispy.
  • Drain the potatoes on paper towels to remove excess oil.
  • Serve the papas chorreadas immediately with your favorite dipping sauce.
