Tunta are dehydrated potatoes that, thanks to a special drying technique, retain their characteristic white color and therefore achieve a longer shelf life. They are sometimes also referred to as Chuño Blanco.
They are the classic accompaniment for the famous Sajta de Pollo and a very special Bolivian specialty.
Before preparation, the tuntas must soak in water for several hours, during which they regain their original size. Afterwards they can be cooked as usual.
