Papas Rellenas is a Cuban dish made with a crispy outer shell, creamy mashed potatoes, and a flavorful picadillo surprise, using ground bison for a delicious twist.
1: Bring a large pot of salt water to boil and add the chopped potatoes.
2: Cook the potatoes al dente - about 10 minutes.
3: Drain them when they’re cooked through but not fork tender and mash until creamy. Set aside to cool.
4: Meanwhile, add the olive oil to a large sauce pan and bring it to medium high heat.
5: Add the onions, peppers, tomato and saute until the onions are translucent.
6: Add the garlic, pimenton, cumin and mix to combine.
7: Push the onion mixture to a side in the pan and add one tablespoon of olive oil.
8: Add the bison and allow it to brown, breaking it up into tiny pieces.
9: Once browned, incorporate the onion mixture.
10: Add the oregano, tomato paste and olives and stir until the paste is fully distributed.
