I spent an afternoon making Fritada from scratch following a traditional recipe. Getting mote hominy right was the main challenge — it's not as straightforward as it looks. The earthy from corn result was rewarding once I got it right.

llapingachos potato cakes are a highland staple tied to Andean agricultural tradition. I served it with canelazo hot cinnamon drink as the recipe suggested and the pairing made sense. It took longer than I expected but the outcome was genuinely satisfying. Making Fritada yourself gives you a new appreciation for what goes into it at a restaurant.
