I brought it to my Spanish class on the last day for the fiesta we had. It was a hit!!!! A few people in the class wanted the recipe even because they said it was really good. The only problem I did have was the rolling up the potatoes,it was not as easy as I thought but the taste was wonderful. Next time I will try a different filling besides tuna maybe.

To most americans mashed potatoes contains cream and butter. In this case, for causa, the potatoes need to be boiled and mashed to form a masa.
