[edit] Llapingacho's History

Llapingacho originated in Ecuador’s Highlands. It is a fried, mashed potato mixed with cheese which is generally served with sausage and fried eggs. This plate forms part of Ecuadorian's culture, and is one of the representative icons of the Highlands food. Llapingacho was later popular not only in Ecuador's Highland but also in the Ecuador's coast and eastern provinces. In this way, Llapingacho became a typical Ecuadorian plate enjoyed not only by its inhabitants, but also by people from abroad.
