Potato stuffing is a traditional recipe in several Latin American countries, especially popular in the Andean region. This dish has its roots in indigenous cuisine, where the potato, a tuber native to that area, is a staple food. In different countries, potato stuffing can have variations in ingredients and preparations, but it always maintains its essence: a delicious mashed potato combined with other elements that enrich its flavor and texture.
In countries like Peru, Bolivia, and Colombia, this dish is known as "relleno de papa" or simply "stuffed potato," although in some places the name and the filling used may vary. In other Latin American countries, such as Mexico, similar preparations are found under names like "stuffed mash" or "stuffed potato patties," with local adaptations that include different spices and garnishes.
