Papa Seca Amarilla are dried potato pieces from Peru.
To prepare, the Papa Seca are soaked in water for several hours (or preferably overnight), allowing the small potato crystals to regain their original size – and finally cooked.
The drying of the potatoes traditionally serves to extend their shelf life and allowed the Aymara to have potatoes available year-round.
Papa Seca is most commonly used to prepare "Carapulcra." Carapulcra is a hearty Peruvian meat and potato stew made with peanuts and chilis (Ají). Variants of this stew also exist in Chile and Bolivia.
