I made 40 of these for my family in Mexico. They loved them. My dad was from Mayaguez so I love to prepare Boricua food for them because I'm proud of my bicultural heritage.
I made these (Relleno De Papa) with my parent 50 years ago by rolling the potato ball in eggs (acts like a glue for the bread crumbs) then roll in parmesan bread crumbs and fry them until you get the golden color. (Make sure to use the big spoon to put them in hot oil, safety first). We eat them for Dinner time or Sell them at Humboldt Park in Chicago for a dollar. Every family including gangs and bikers loved them. RESPECT
I made this and my kids cleared them out as fast as I could make them. Thank you so much! It's not easy dragging kids away from pizza and fast food burgers......
Omg, I made these yesterday thanks to your video and my son was in heaven. So far your videos haven helped me enhance my own versions of cooking the same thing.
Can’t wait to make these. I made the alcapurrias today and it was phenomenal. I would recommend anyone making this, use a slotted spoon or a spider strainer. For the alcapurrias, I take parchment paper and smear a couple of drops of achiote oil before placing my masa on it. It helps for the alcapurria to slide off, and if not, you can drop the entire thing with paper into the oil and remove the paper once it dislodges.
Sure will just wish i had more time. So I could make more videos . Just been so busy lately which is a good thing. But will be posting new videos this week. Stay tuned. Thank you for watching.

+mibello aleman kola champagne umm umm ummm. heaven or a malta india perfection. alot of sugar but damn its so good. In moderation.lol. Thank you for watching. please follow us on social media. facebook.com/thefreakinricanrestaurant
You kill me again by reminding me of Malta India, which I grew up drinking but can no longer drink because of the huge amount of sugar - if I did drink it I'll wind up in the ER! But the reminder of the other super delicious drink I remember as a child, Kola Champagne, almost makes me cry because I can't drink either or! But your comments in the video are just wonderful, they bring a flood of memories, of happier times. Also, I can't seem to find your calendar of events (so I can find you and eat your delicious foods) in either your web page or Facebook. Maybe I'm not reading things well. Please let me know where exactly I could find it. Thank you for taking the time to respond to my posts. God bless!
mibello aleman I gree, but for me it would be in Brooklyn, NY perticularly in the winter worming up in the kitchen and eating comfort food. Now I'm Clw, Fl with the so called winter of 72* and doing his acapurias recipe.
Yes David, nothing like eating these wonderful comfort foods in NY during the winter and chasing them with a Malta India or Kola Champagne, which I can't drink!
Thanks for sharing! I finally found a chef I can follow to cook Puerto Rican meals for my adult children and my grandchildren! I can keep our Puerto Rican traditions alive!! Thank you again!!
Ahhh, Kola Champagne, my very favorite childhood soda; so fragrant, so tasty. You Sir, are an expert in good taste, a true connoisseur! The papas rellenas looked amazing. Great job!
A lovely woman use to sell these out her living room window, in North Philly. I would drive almost 30 minutes once I moved to buy. One of the most delicious things I’ve ever had. 😊
I love watching your videos I love Puerto Rican food, I'm Mexican from Chicago but moved to a smaller town and don't get it like I use too so instead of buying it, I've been learning to make it myself😊
OMG this made my mouth water. 😋 I am a PR born and raised in NY. I moved to Florida many years ago. I love watching your videos. You make everything so simple to follow. I am a great cook but always love to learn new ideas of doing recipes. Keep them coming. 😍😎
Thanks for sharing! I finally found a chef I can follow to cook Puerto Rican meals for my adult children and my grandchildren! I can keep our Puerto Rican traditions alive!! Thank you again!!
Omg, this looks awesome! My ‘Rican friend, Taino, shared it with us so my 1/2 ‘Rican spouse can experience more of her heritage.🇵🇷 I can’t wait to taste it!! Thank you🙏🏼🥰 Susan
+Milesia Rodriguez of course your welcome. I remember living in the bronx when I was a kid eating these. so so good. Hard to find good ones now. Ours are slamming. Thank you for watching. please follow us on social media. facebook.com/thefreakinricanrestaurant
this year im going to impress my husbands family with good Puerto Rican food for thanksgiving! My mother-in-law hasn't eaten much of her cultures food (Puerto Rican and Dominican) in a long time! Afro-Caribbean Thanksgiving to celebrate our mixed family! Im excited! Thank you for these videos!
I am 100% Italian. I can cook.... I have a 6 burner Wolf to prove it... lol! But, I must say, I am much more impressed by you!! You are sweet, funny and thorough, with easy to follow directions. I just subscribed because I have a new Latino member to our family and I wanted to make a dish with plantains. Thank you so much! Look into a show for yourself.
I follow your RU-vid channel because your instructions and directions on how to's is simple straight forward and I've made made of the dishes, my mom did when I was growing up. I learned many from her but the ones I didn't quite understand, I've done them successfully watching you. Asi que sigue que quiero aprender mucho mas. Gracias! Thank you.
OMG!! Great Job!! I have been eating these all my life and I never knew how to make one :) I am Greek and Spanish and Am Indian, I will be making these tomorrow Night For Dinner!! Thank You Handsome :)
I want some & I love how it taste I want to try 🇵🇷 dishes & I want to send my prayers to Puerto Rico I was planning to go back when the hurricane arrives over its breaking my 💔. Count me in for 🇵🇷 dishes
I just stumbled on this channel and I loveeee it!!! Real authentic Puerto Rican food & I love how u show every single step and you have the best smile! Thanks for sharing!
Would you believe I learned this channel existed because I looked at the comment section of a Food Wishes video. A commentor mentioned Relleno de papa and I got curious.
Thank you. I make them similar but I learned a few tricks with the video and the comments. It's nice to see when an Actual Puerto RIcan is making the food. I always appreciate learning from the cultures themselves. There is a big difference.
+NikkiNy shoot us a picture when you make them I would love to see how they came out. Thank you for watching. please follow us on social media. facebook.com/thefreakinricanrestaurant
So I made these before a while ago. My mom n law showed me. Since she has Dementia I haven't made any. However, I ran across your video and I'm making them now! Yay! Thanks.
Just made these bad boys & The Picadillo for the 1st time..... DAMN! They came out DELICIOUS!!! THANK YOU for the video!! Great treat to start the New Year!! :)
The recipe is delicious and came out great. I made them the day before a family picnic and was worried about keeping them in the fridge overnight. The next day I placed them in the oven at 375* for 45 minutes in a foil pan. My cousins went crazy for the recipe. Almodovar moss 4/29/2024.
Hola....My kids & I did this 1 as well & all I can say is AMAZING.... Thanks again for taking the time 2 teach us....May God Bless you & the family.... 🤗🤗🤗🍽🍽🍽
I loved your video you are muy simpatico! Thank you it brought back a lot of memories. I live in Colorado and now I'm old and I hardly have any family so watching you made me feel boricua again. Thank you. I subscribed!😍👍💗
We will love to get a restaurant in Florida, not far from Naples ,just don't have Puerto Rico restaurants there ,we will love it,this is an idea for the next one ,thanks
OMG, I haven't had these since I was a little girl at the beautiful beach in PR when visiting my grandmother. I really miss that beach and those rellenos.
At home I put all my dry ingredients flours and corn starch in wide mouth glass mason jars and pack it down tight. Fill up the jar nicely pack tight put a clean coffee filter and put the mason jar lid and the wide mouth Foodsaver jar sealer adapter attach the hose to my Foodsaver vacuum sealer. And vacuum the jar closed. Then I shut off the the Foodsaver remove the hose, and adapter and the lid is sealed tight. Then I put the ring on the mason jar. All my dry goods, pasta, flour sugar, salt, cornmeal etc are vacuumed sealed in jars and looking pretty in my rack pantry. I love keeping everything nice and neat. I’m a little OCD. No boxes in my pantry. It keeps everything nice and fresh. When I use it everyday, I just put a lid on the jar and the white cap lid that goes with it. I still keep a crushed coffee filter inside. It’s also easy to put big spoon inside to measure cups when using for recipes. I’m a neat freak.
Derick, you have the simplest recipe and simplest way of making this awesome fritter, Boricua way. I've been viewing your videos for a while now and getting better at it. Rellenos de papas is today's task. I'm gonna follow your recipe to the letter. Hopefully I won't create too much of a mess. Muchas gracia...
First time I watched this. Never though about maizena and butter .I also for coloring use achiote with oil I pour on mix then using same techniques for shaping the rellenos. Thanks for this article
