Crema de Papas y Frijoles (Creamy Potatoes and Beans)
Warm, creamy, and comforting, this dish is perfect for a cozy night in!
Start by peeling and dicing the potatoes into small cubes.
In a large pot, heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil over medium heat. Add the diced onion and cook for about 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the onion is translucent.
Add the chopped garlic to the pot and cook for another 1-2 minutes until fragrant.
Add the diced potatoes to the pot and stir to combine. Cook for 3-4 minutes.
Pour in 4 cups of vegetable broth and add salt, pepper, and cumin. Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat and let it simmer for about 20 minutes, or until the potatoes are tender.
Stir in the black beans and cook for an additional 5 minutes until they are heated through.
Finally, stir in 1 cup of cream and mix well. Simmer for another 3 minutes.
Serve hot, garnished with your favorite herbs or a drizzle of olive oil if desired.
