Yaroa De Papa
The making of Yaroa takes place in three steps. The first is the making of the fries that will be used as the base of your dish. Next, we have the preparation of ground beef that goes over the fries. Finally, the last step is adding the cheese and condiments that add flavor to the whole dish.
Ingredients
Fried
- 24 oz potatoes, sliced into strips
- 1 tbsp salt
- 1 tsp pepper
- 4 tbsp olive or canola oil
- 1 tbsp garlic powder
Beef
- 1 lb minced beef
- 3 garlic cloves
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 1 cup tomato sauce
- 1.5 tsp salt
- 0.5 tsp pepper
- 1 bell pepper diced
- 1 sprig cilantro
Toppings
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- ¼ cup mayonnaise
- ¼ cup ketchup
Instructions
- Drizzle the olive oil over your fries and mix in the garlic powder, salt, and pepper. The fries should be evenly coated with the oil and seasoning.
- Set the seasoned fries aside while you pre-heat your oven to 350 F. If using an air fryer, use the manufacturer's guide.
- Place the fries on a baking sheet and cook for 25 minutes. The fries should be crispy at the edges. For the air fryer, use the manufacturer’s recommendations.
- For the meat, heat the oil in a large skillet with the heat set to medium. Add the onions and cook until they turn soft. Add the garlic and cook for a minute while stirring. Add the meat and cook until it turns brown. As the meat is cooking, use a spatula to break up any clumps.
- When the meat is done, pour in the tomato sauce then add the cilantro, bell pepper, salt, and pepper. Simmer for 3 minutes.
- Layer the fries on a microwave-safe plate. Add the steaming meat to the fries then sprinkle the mozzarella and cheddar on top. The hot meat should melt the cheese but you can microwave it for 90 seconds to ensure the cheese is melted.
- Add the mayo and ketchup and serve while hot. Enjoy.
