Ingredients

• 6 pieces Potatoes (medium-sized, peeled and halved)
• 4 cups Water
• 1 teaspoons Salt
• 2 tablespoons Butter
• 1 small White onion (finely chopped)
• 2 medium Tomatoes (diced)
• 2 cloves Garlic (minced)
• 1 cup Heavy cream
• 2 tablespoons Fresh cilantro (chopped)
• 1 cup Fresh cheese (crumbled, such as queso fresco)
• 0.5 teaspoon Ground black pepper

Directions

Step 1

Add the peeled and halved potatoes to a large pot and cover them with 4 cups of water. Add 1 teaspoon of salt. Bring the water to a boil over medium-high heat, then reduce to a simmer. Cook the potatoes for about 20-25 minutes, or until tender when pierced with a fork. Drain and keep warm.

Step 2

While the potatoes are cooking, melt 2 tablespoons of butter in a large skillet over medium heat.

Step 3

Add the finely chopped onion to the skillet and sauté for 3-4 minutes, or until soft and translucent.

Step 4

Stir in the diced tomatoes and minced garlic. Cook for an additional 5-6 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the tomatoes break down and form a chunky sauce.

Step 5

Lower the heat and add 1 cup of heavy cream to the tomato mixture. Stir well to combine.

Step 6

Mix in the chopped fresh cilantro and season the sauce with 0.5 teaspoons of ground black pepper. Taste and adjust salt if needed.

Step 7

Gently fold in the crumbled fresh cheese, allowing it to melt slightly into the sauce. Do not let the cheese fully melt; it should remain slightly lumpy for texture.

Step 8

To serve, place the boiled potatoes on a serving platter and pour the cheese-tomato sauce generously over them. Garnish with additional cilantro if desired.

Step 9

Serve immediately as a side dish or a main course. Enjoy your Papas Chorreadas II!
