Papas Chorreadas
A beloved Colombian comfort food, Papas Chorreadas features tender boiled potatoes generously topped with a creamy, savory sauce made from tomatoes, scallions, and cheese.
🧂 Ingrédients
- 8 Medium potatoes (like Yukon Gold or red potatoes)
- 200g Queso fresco
- 1/2 cup Heavy cream(or half-and-half for a lighter sauce)
- 2 Ripe tomatoes
- 4 Scallions (green onions)
- 1 tablespoon Vegetable oil(for sautéing)
- to taste Salt
- to taste Black pepper
👨🍳 Instructions
- 1
Place the prepared potatoes in a large pot and cover them with cold water. Add a generous pinch of salt. Bring to a boil over high heat, then reduce heat to medium and simmer until the potatoes are fork-tender, about 20-25 minutes. Drain the potatoes and set aside.
⏱️ 25 minutes - 2
While the potatoes are boiling, prepare the sauce. Heat the vegetable oil in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Add the chopped scallions and sauté until softened and fragrant, about 3-4 minutes. Be careful not to brown them.
⏱️ 4 minutes - 3
Add the finely chopped tomatoes to the saucepan with the scallions. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the tomatoes have broken down and softened, releasing their juices, about 5-7 minutes. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
⏱️ 7 minutes - 4
Pour in the heavy cream and stir to combine. Bring the sauce to a gentle simmer and cook for another 3-5 minutes, allowing it to thicken slightly. The sauce should be creamy and well-integrated.
⏱️ 5 minutes - 5
Remove the sauce from the heat. Stir in about three-quarters of the crumbled queso fresco until it melts into the sauce, creating a richer, cheesier consistency. Reserve the remaining cheese for garnish.
⏱️ 2 minutes - 6
Arrange the boiled potatoes on a serving platter. Pour the warm chorreada sauce generously over the potatoes. Garnish with the reserved crumbled queso fresco. Serve immediately while hot.
