Cook the meat with water, 2 cloves of garlic, and the onion. When ready, shred it. The dough is beaten with the meat cooking broth until fluffy. Separately, beat the lard and add it to the dough along with the baking powder and salt to taste. Soak the tamale leaves in cold water and drain them. Filling: Fry the meat in the lard, add the potatoes and olives. Grind the chili with garlic, cumin, salt, and pepper, then strain. Add the sauce to the meat and adjust seasoning. Place dough with a spoon on each leaf, then a bit of filling, some strips of chili, and finally wrap and tie the tamale. Repeat the process with all the leaves. Place the tamales in a steamer for about 45 minutes or until they detach from the leaf.
