1/4 cup chopped cooked bacon
Sour cream, optional
Green onions, optional

Preparation

• Place potatoes on a large plate and prick each potato in two places with a fork.

• Mash each potato with a fork and spread the butter over all of them. Sprinkle it with salt.

Your Latino touch will come through strong at the table with this easy-to-make version of guava pastelitos. Great for sweetening the mood as the players move through the game.

Ingredients

4 (14-ounce) packages frozen puff pastry dough
2 (14-ounce) blocks of guava paste
1 (8-oz.) package cream cheese
1 (8-ounce) package mascarpone cheese
1 egg with 1 tablespoon water
1/2 cup turbinado sugar for topping

Preparation

• Remove the puff pastry dough from the freezer, let it thaw at room temperature.
• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees.
• Cut the guava block pastry into thin rectangular slices. Set aside.
• In a small bowl, use a spoon to combine the mascarpone cheese and cream cheese. Set aside.
• Beat the egg and water in a small bowl and set aside.
• On a lightly floured surface, place the puff pastry dough. Use a sharp knife or pizza cutter to cut the dough into 8 equal parts.
• Place 2 thin slices of guava paste and 1 1/2 tablespoons of cream cheese on 4 pieces of puff pastry. Dredge the edges of the filled dough in the egg mixture.
• Slit the remaining 4 pieces of dough. The slits will serve to release air while the dough bakes.
• Use the grooved dough to cover the filled dough. Trim any uneven areas or excess dough and seal the edges of the pastries with a fork. Dredge the tops of the empanadas in the egg mixture and sprinkle with turbinado sugar.
• Repeat steps 6-10 for the remaining puff pastry sheets until all the pastries are done.
• Place the pastries on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper and bake for 15-20 minutes until golden brown. Remove from the oven and serve when slightly cooled.
