Ingredients | Empanadas De Camote Recipe

2 potatoes

1 tablespoon butter

2 onion, chopped

3 spring onions, chopped

1 red bell pepper, chopped

1 pound ground beef

1 teaspoon paprika

½ teaspoon cayenne pepper

salt to taste

¾ cup green olives, pitted and chopped

2 hard-boiled eggs, chopped

1 tablespoon olive oil

24 empanada pastry rounds

1 egg, lightly beaten

Directions

Place potatoes into a large pot and cover with water; bring to a boil. Reduce heat to medium-low and simmer until barely tender, about 8 minutes. Drain. Once cool enough to handle, peel and cut into cubes. Set aside.

Meanwhile, melt butter in a large skillet and cook onion and spring onions until softened, about 5 minutes. Add bell pepper and cook for 3 minutes. Add ground beef. Cook and stir until beef is browned, about 5 minutes. Season with paprika, cayenne pepper, and salt.

Remove beef mixture from heat, add potatoes and olives, and mix well. Stir in chopped hard-boiled eggs and set filling aside to cool, about 20 minutes.

Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C). Line 2 baking sheets with aluminum foil and lightly grease with olive oil.

Place an empanada pastry round on a flat surface and lightly wet edges with warm water. Put a large tablespoon of cooled filling in the center and fold pastry over. Seal edges by pressing with a fork. Repeat with remaining rounds and filling. Transfer empanadas to the prepared baking sheets and brush with beaten egg.

Bake in the preheated oven until golden, 15 to 20 minutes.
