Papas Chorreadas is a typical Colombian side dish, born in the Andean zone of the country, these creamy potatoes are delicious with meat dishes. And they are a must as a side dish for Sobrebarriga al Horno.
Red potatoes covered with a delicious sauce made with scallions, tomatoes, cream and cheese. You can also make a vegetarian version of papas chorreadas using vegetable bouillon instead of the chicken bouillon.
Ingredients
(4 SERVINGS)
8 medium red potatoes, partially peeled
1 tablet chicken bouillon
Water
1 tablespoon butter
1 tablespoon vegetable oil
1 ½ cups dice tomatoes
3 scallions cut into 2 inches long
¼ teaspoon garlic powder
¼ teaspoon cumin
¼ teaspoon salt
Pepper to taste
1 cup heavy whipping cream
1 tablespoon chopped cilantro
1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
Directions
Place the potatoes and chicken bouillon in a medium saucepan. Cover with water and bring to a boil and cook about 30 minutes until tender. Drain and set a side.
While the potatoes are cooking, heat the oil and butter in a frying pan over medium heat. Add onion and tomatoes, stir and cook about 7 minutes. Add garlic powder, cumin, salt and pepper. Stir and cook 2 minutes more.
Add cream, cilantro and cheese. Mix well and turn down the heat and cook for 3 minutes or until cheese has melted.
In a serving dish place the potatoes and pour the sauce on top. Serve them hot.

The amazing thing is that you have every little detail just perfectly–the potatoes for this dish are, indeed, “partially peeled” 🙂 This is the kind of everyday recipe I have been looking for. Restaurante Montserrate in Arlington VA has some pretty good papas chorreadas if you live in DC and don’t feel like making them.

Que yo sepa la papa choriada no lleva queso ni crema de leche;si lleva esos ingredientes no es “Papa Choriada Colombiana”

Please do a little research: papas chorreadas is specifically a potato dish with a tomato, cream, and cheese sauce.

Just wanted to give this recipe a huge thumbs up. I made it as a side dish to my fabulous pork ribs and this didn’t disappoint. I had never had papas chorreadas before and was always curious about them. They were fantastic. I used canned diced tomatoes which I think helped make the sauce even tastier.
