Carne con papas is a popular Cuban dish that’s on regular rotation in many Cuban households. It’s a home-cooked comfort food favorite!
Potato’s are always added to this dish. After all they’re in the name. The rest of the ingredients depend on the cook.
In this recipe, we add carrots and olives. The carrots add just a touch of sweetness, and the olives add a salty bite; such a great combination! Serve it with white rice for a traditional, down-home Cuban meal. If you’re thinking to yourself: Rice and potatoes at the same time, in the same dish?
