\"chat\"<\/p>\n

It’s no secret that I love empanadas (and hate raisins in them) \ud83d\ude06<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

One thing I miss about living in LA is the food. There was this great little resto by my apartment in Redondo Beach – The Empanada Shop<\/a>. All the empanadas I’ve had there were good, but my absolute favorite was the Potato Rajas Cheese one.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

I wanted to try recreating it at home, but with minimal effort \ud83d\ude05<\/p>\n

IDK if y’all remember that Semi-Homemade Cooking with Sandra Lee<\/em><\/a> show on Food Network than ran in the early 2000s (I hardly remember the awful food she made, but I remember all the cocktails). You guys, I am Sandra Lee – I love vodka<\/del> the less prep the better! If I can buy it already chopped, triple washed or canned, I’m doing it.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

I had to buy whole potatoes bc they don’t come cubed and boiled anywhere, and I would’ve bought canned roasted poblanos if I could find them! I had to roast that shit myself \ud83d\ude05<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

I cubed and boiled the potatoes, mashed them with my immersion blender<\/a>, and mixed in shredded Mexican cheese and diced roasted poblanos. I spooned some filling into pre-made and pre-cut empanada dough<\/a>, and sealed them with empanada press molds<\/a>. I brushed the tops with egg wash and baked them for 30 minutes at 350\u00b0.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

These empanadas came out amazing! Or shall I say, ‘mmmpanadas’ \ud83d\ude0b<\/p>\n

(I’ll see myself out).<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
