      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.

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

            My mother from Guasca made these potatoes but she never used cream or cheese. Maybe because during the war these items were not available or affordable

              So it’s a different dish then. The whole point of this is the cream and the cheese

      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.
