Potato squares

Potato squares is a very popular traditional recipe in various regions of Latin America, especially in countries like Mexico, Colombia, and Peru. Although the name may vary, in some places it is known as "potato cake" or "potato pudding." This recipe has its origins in the mix of indigenous culinary techniques with European influences, where the potato, an ingredient native to the Americas, is combined with dairy products and spices to create a comforting and delicious dish.

In Mexico, for example, it is often prepared with variations of cheese and chiles, while in Colombia it is frequently served with meats or sauces. In Peru, the potato is the star of many recipes due to its abundance in the Andean region, and potato cake is a traditional way to use this tuber, to which fresh, local ingredients are added for flavor and texture. This recipe is appreciated for its simplicity, versatility, and homemade taste.
