Gallitos De Papa Recipe

Gallitos de Papa

From vainwi 15 years ago

A very typical side dish- potatoes cooked and served on corn tortillas, called "gallitos" in Costa Rica. ("Papas" are potatoes).

3 large potatoes shopping list
2 garlic cloves, chopped finely shopping list
3 tablespoons vegetable oil shopping list
1 teaspoon sugar shopping list
1 teaspoon salt shopping list
1 teaspoon paprika or ground annatto seed (you should be able to find annatto at a mexican grocery) shopping list
corn tortillas shopping list
2 tablespoons chopped cilantro shopping list

Peel potatoes and dice into small pieces.
Sauté the finely chopped garlic in the oil and add some salt, about 1 teaspoon.
Add the potatoes, sugar, salt and paprika or annatto.
Cover the pan and cook on low heat, about 20 minutes, adding water as needed to prevent the potatoes from sticking.
Remove and serve on the corn tortillas, wrapped in foil and warmed in a 200°F oven.
Top with cilantro, salt, and pepper.
Sour cream, crema or salsa are also great additions.
