Papas (Mexican Mashed Potatoes image

When we visited Costa Rica, I had these potatoes and fell in love with them. I have tried many many recipes but none was ever what I was looking for. These are the closests that I have gotten. They are not as good as Costa Rica's (of course) but they are still so good.
