The first time I had these little potato pancakes at a street stand in Otavalo, I thought that llapingachos was the pancake alone. But then later I went to a restaurant and saw Llapingachos under the comida tipica menu. A llapingachos meal is the potato pancake (stuffed with cheese) as well as chorizo sausage, fried eggs and an avocado and tomato salad. If there's anything I love more than potato pancakes (with cheese!), it's potatoes with eggs for any meal. If I lived in Ecuador, I'd eat llapingachos in every form for every meal. Perhaps it's good I just visited...
