Chapalele is a Chilean bread made with only two main ingredients – potatoes and flour. It originates from the Chiloé Island, where it is traditionally steamed and cooked in curanto – a hole in the ground used for preparing food.


However, it can also be fried, pan-fried, or baked. When it's done, chapalele can be consumed on its own as a snack or it can be used as an accompaniment to stews and meat dishes.

Pan de huevo is a Chilean egg bread roll that is typically consumed as a snack at local beaches, where it’s traditionally sold by women wearing all-white uniforms. The bread roll is made with a combination of flour, baking powder, sugar, eggs, vanilla, and butter.


It is recommended to consume pan de huevo with butter. Interestingly, pan de huevo hardens quickly, so it should be eaten as soon as possible after it has been baked.

Tortilla de rescoldo is a traditional unleavened bread originating from the central-northern regions of Chile. The bread is usually prepared with a combination of flour, butter, salt, and sometimes baking soda. The soft dough is shaped into disks, and it is then placed inside the ashes of the fireplace once the hot flaming coals have been removed.


Once baked, the bread has intense flavors of smoke and ash. Although this is the most common version, there are also regional variations – in Laraquete, cooks prepare it with chuchitas (small shellfish), and in Altihue, the bread is enriched with tiny pieces of pork. 

TasteAtlas food rankings are based on the ratings of the TasteAtlas audience, with a series of mechanisms that recognize real users and that ignore bot, nationalist or local patriotic ratings, and give additional value to the ratings of users that the system recognizes as knowledgeable. TasteAtlas Rankings should not be seen as the final global conclusion about food. Their purpose is to promote excellent local foods, instill pride in traditional dishes, and arouse curiosity about dishes you haven’t tried.
