Preparation Steps

  1. 1

    Prepare the Potatoes

    Boil the Russet potatoes in salted water until tender. Drain and let cool, then peel and mash them until smooth.

  2. 2

    Cook the Filling

    In a large skillet, heat some oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and garlic, sauté until translucent. Add the ground beef, cumin, salt, and black pepper. Cook until the beef is browned. Stir in green olives and hard-boiled eggs. Remove from heat and let cool.

  3. 3

    Assemble the Potatoes

    Take a portion of the mashed potatoes and flatten it in your palm. Place a spoonful of the beef mixture in the center and fold the potatoes around it, forming a ball. Repeat until all ingredients are used.

  4. 4

    Fry the Stuffed Potatoes

    In a deep frying pan, heat oil to 350°F (175°C). Fry the stuffed potatoes until golden brown on all sides. Remove and drain on paper towels.

  5. 5

    Serve

    Serve hot, optionally with a side of salsa or dipping sauce.
