Papas Rellenas Cubanas | Cuban Style Potato Croquettes | Chef Zee Cooks

Papas Rellenas Cubanas are a traditional Cuban dish made with picadillo and mash potatoes! These potatoes croquettes are easy to make and filled with delicious ground beef. In fact, whenever I make carne molida, I make sure to stew it for 20-30 minutes so that it comes out soft. I even use my homemade sofrito to season the ground beef. It gives it that true Hispanic flavor. These meat and potato appetizer are delicious and perfect for the holidays, family gatherings and more!
