Perfectly crisp oven baked papa rellena (Peruvian stuffed potatoes)

Perfectly crisp oven baked papa rellena!

Papa Rellena (pronounced Reyena) was probably our favourite food out of all the great and exciting things we ate in South America – This Peruvian staple was everywhere, and it was nearly the first thing we ate when we crossed the border from Chile. This got us wondering – can we make it healthy? Enter the oven baked Papa Rellena!

Papa Rellena came with many different flavours of stuffing, the most common being a spicy mince or chicken, and was always deep fried. Here we’ve made a simple vegetarian stuffing, but you can substitute for whatever you feel like really.

The other main adjustment, of course, is that these are oven-baked and not deep fried, and so have waaaay less fat – which of course means that you can eat more of them!

Traditionally served with a spicy peanut sauce, but anything fresh and zingy works well.
