Tomates Rellenos

Place the eggs in a small saucepan, cover with cold water, and bring to a boil over medium-high heat. Reduce heat and simmer for 10 minutes, then transfer to an ice bath to cool completely before peeling.

Place the potatoes in a separate saucepan, cover with salted cold water, and bring to a boil. Cook until tender when pierced with a fork, approximately 20 minutes, then drain and allow to cool completely.

Slice the top quarter off each tomato horizontally and set the caps aside. Using a small spoon, carefully hollow out the interior of each tomato, removing the seeds and pulp without piercing the walls.

Lightly salt the interior cavity of each hollowed tomato and invert them onto a paper towel to drain excess moisture for at least 5 minutes.

Peel and dice the cooled potatoes into small, uniform cubes. Peel and chop the hard-boiled eggs to a similar size, then combine both in a mixing bowl.

Season the potato and egg mixture generously with salt, stirring gently to combine while keeping the pieces intact.

Spoon the filling evenly into each hollowed tomato, mounding it slightly above the rim. Replace the tomato caps on top at a slight angle.

Refrigerate the stuffed tomatoes for at least 15 minutes before serving to allow the flavors to meld and the dish to reach an ideal cool temperature.
