Papas Con Chuchoca

Papas con Chuchoca is a traditional Chilean dish made with mashed potatoes and cornmeal.

Ingredients - Serves 6

Boil the diced potatoes in a large pot of salted water until tender, about 15 minutes.
While the potatoes are boiling, prepare the chuchoca by combining the cornmeal, milk, butter, salt, and pepper in a separate bowl.
Drain the cooked potatoes and return them to the pot. Mash them with a potato masher or fork until smooth.
Add the chuchoca mixture to the mashed potatoes and mix well.
Place the pot over low heat and cook for an additional 5 minutes, stirring constantly, until the mixture thickens.
Remove from heat and stir in the chopped cilantro.
Serve hot as a side dish with your favorite main course.
