After Christmas and the January slope, the Guest Comidista returns, already celebrating its eighth edition, the first in 2023. In the previous one we asked you about simple desserts, and on this occasion something completely different: recipes in which It dips the potatoes in the list of ingredients. This simple, cheap, and versatile bulb certainly deserves to be honored.
As in previous editions, if your proposal is successful, we will publish your photo and recipe in El Comidista. In addition, you can achieve a taste ecstasy with the price: a wonderful batch of 26 different products from our popular Petra Mora shop. This package, worth 186 euros, includes delicacies selected by the company from among the best producers, such as its extra virgin olive oil, its creamy cheese, its candied piquillo peppers or its Rioja Rosalba red wine. And also other food from Petra Mora’s own animal husbandry, such as beef entrecote.
But what do I have to do?
Send us a recipe with ingredients and step by step and at least one photo of a dish that contains potatoes. The kind you want: stew, cream, salad, roast …, the essential thing is that this vegetable is one of the protagonists of your proposal. But yes: it must be original, it is not allowed to reproduce the ones we published in El Comidista. The jury appreciates the creativity and quality of the photos attached, as we will publish them if selected.
How can I participate?
First you must be of legal age. Do you remember the one, two, three? Perfect, you have more years ahead of you, you can send the recipe and photos to the email address [email protected] with the subject “Guest Potato Chef”. If you wish, you can also participate via Instagram: upload to your profile – via private message NO, please- the picture of the dish with the description of the ingredients and the steps to follow, mention our official account (@elcomidista) and put the hashtag #ComidistaInvitadoPatatas.

The entry period begins this morning at 08:00 and ends next Monday, February 13, at 23:59 at night. You have a week to try out recipes using potatoes until you’re done with the seven-pound bag you bought.
How do I send the prescription?
Just like the ones we publish in El Comidista: with a detailed list of ingredients and exact quantities. Nothing like “the size of a young ferret made of salt” or “like the palm of my friend from Tembleque made of peppers”. No, we don’t know your friend. Please in units, grams, kilos, liters, milliliters, tablespoons or teaspoons.
Likewise, you must formulate the following elaboration as we do: written in the infinitive, with all the steps in the correct order and giving the exact times or moments in the preparation. For example: “1. First, put all the veggies in a saucepan except for the beans – spinach can also be added at the end and just bring to the boil – cover with plenty of cold water, bring to the boil and simmer over low heat for a while for an hour and a half, replacing water if necessary. Etc. The more detailed the description, the more likely your win.
Is photography essential?
Yes, the key is that your publication is the same as the one we receive from the other Comidisters, with recipe and appetizing photos of the dish. If possible, with a minimum size of 1800 x 800 pixels (today almost every camera or mobile phone takes pictures with a higher resolution, so you don’t have to worry about that). If you upload it to Instagram, remember to save the original photo in case we ask you to post it at maximum quality.
And what do I get?
Being a guest chef, posting your own recipe on our site and, as we said before, a fantastic batch of Petra Mora products. Put culinary value on it and join in!
