Today I want to share with you a Colombian-Style Mashed potatoes recipe or "Naco de papas". We are mashed potatoes fans around here. My husband and my son can’t get enough of the them. This dish is very popular in the department of Boyacá. I hope you enjoy our creamy version for this classic dish as much as I do.
Buen provecho!
