Cheesy Potatoes…Also known as Papa Chorreada..

Perfect potatoes with a cheesy tomato based sauce. Weak at the knees? Yes.Cheesy Potatoes - Cafe DelitesHello. My name is Karina, and I love Cheese. Melty cheese. Mozzarella cheese. Give me all the cheese recipes in the world, and I’ll happily…uhhh…taste test. Yes. I will taste test them all. Of course, I won’t be criticising them, because cheese.

Cheesy Potatoes - Cafe DelitesIn case my point hasn’t gotten across yet. I love cheese. Did you see that cheese? I NEED AN ARROW BUTTON. Oops. Caps lock problems 101. Getting so excited looking at this cheese, my fingers can’t keep up with my brain. And my eyes.

Cheesy Potatoes - Cafe DelitesThis dish….my friends…is what my Colombian mama calls, ‘Papa Chorreada.’ She was eating these when she was younger than young, and has passed down the recipe to me (thank you mama). So, I sing: ‘I got it from my mama..I got it got it…’My absolute favourite side growing up, we ate these almost every weekend with roast beef or lamb or chicken, or on their own even. because, like I said….cheese. In this case, we enjoyed these with those Fetta, Bacon and Sundried Tomato Stuffed Chicken and Spinach Rolls. Yeah. Totally.

So simple to make, I nearly cried when she taught me this recipe. Why the tears? Well. Uncomplicated recipes will do that to me. No nonsense recipes that are so simple to make, with less than 5 ingredients, and guaranteed to be a hit in your fam-bams. True story.Cheesy Potatoes - Cafe DelitesThis consists of only these things that even the most kitchen illiterate person could manage, (yes. That would be me).

1. Wash

2. Boil

3. Panfry

4. Cheese.

That’s it. Really really.

Cheesy Potatoes - Cafe DelitesOk. I’m cutting a long story short here, because I can’t bare to look at these anymore. My stomach is rumbling. I’m now craving all the cheese in the world. Just please, make them. As if your life depends on it. because it does. You haven’t lived if you haven’t tried Papa Chorreada.
