Potato Mixture
- Add potatoes to a large pot and cover with water (you want about an inch of water above the potatoes)
- Heavily salt the water (like the dead sea please); boil then bring to a simmer
- Cover and cook for 10-20 minutes until fork tender
- Let cool and peel
- In a bowl, mash potatoes; add yogurt, milk, and cornstarch, mix until combined
- Season with salt, pepper and garlic powder (to taste)
- Using wet hands (helps potato mixture to not stick to your palms), grab a spoonful of the potato mixture and form into a circle in the palm of your hand
- Fill with a spoonful of the picadillo mixture (don’t overstuff)
- Add another spoonful of the potato mixture, mend together the side until the picadillo is enclosed and a ball is formed
