"Don't miss the savory delights found here, too, from the infamous Potato Ball (a mashed-potato ball filled with seasoned ground beef and fried up) to the empanadas and chorizo pies that melt in your mouth."
"The papa rellena was comprised of breaded and fried mashed potatoes filled with seasoned ground beef. The crunchy texture of the breading had me at first bite."

"43 Iconic Meat Dishes in Los Angeles: Potato Balls at Porto's Bakery & Cafe - The cheap potato balls are a must order at this bustling Glendale (and now Burbank and Downey) Cuban bakery. With spiced ground meat surrounded with mashed potatoes and then covered with breadcrumbs, it goes down with one or two bites."
"It has a smooth texture and a ton of flavor I could eat 5 easily and would say this was one of my favorite things."

"These are balls of mashed potatoes which have been filled with seasoned ground beef and deep fried; kind of a spherical mini Shepherd’s Pie. This is my favorite thing at Porto’s and an absolute must-have."
