Milcao de Papa y Harina - Chile traditional dish

🧂 재료

500 g Cooked potatoes(mashed (from boiled or baked))
250 g Raw potatoes(finely grated and squeezed dry)
150 g All-purpose flour(plus more for dusting)
50 g Lard or butter(melted)
1 tsp Salt
1/2 tsp Black pepper
for frying Vegetable oil or lard

👨‍🍳 조리법

1
In a large bowl, combine the mashed cooked potatoes and the finely grated, squeezed raw potatoes.
💡 전문가 팁: Ensure the raw potatoes are as dry as possible to prevent a gummy texture.
2
Add the flour, melted lard or butter, salt, and pepper to the potato mixture. Mix well until a cohesive dough forms.
💡 전문가 팁: The consistency should be firm enough to shape but not too dry.
3
Lightly flour a clean surface. Divide the dough into 8 equal portions and shape each portion into a flat, round pancake, about 1-1.5 cm thick.
4
Heat vegetable oil or lard in a large skillet over medium-high heat. The oil should be about 1 cm deep.
💡 전문가 팁: Ensure the oil is hot enough before adding the milcaos; a drop of dough should sizzle immediately.
5
Carefully place the milcaos in the hot oil, frying them in batches to avoid overcrowding the pan. Fry for about 4-5 minutes per side, until golden brown and cooked through.
💡 전문가 팁: Adjust heat as needed to prevent burning.
6
Remove the milcaos from the skillet and place them on a wire rack or paper towels to drain excess oil.
💡 전문가 팁: Serve immediately while hot.
