Potato Salad

Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Boil the Potatoes

    In a large pot, bring water to a boil. Add the potatoes and salt, and boil until fork-tender, about 15-20 minutes. Drain and let cool.

  2. 2

    Prepare the Huancaina Sauce

    In a blender, combine queso fresco, aji amarillo paste, evaporated milk, garlic, olive oil, lemon juice, salt, and black pepper. Blend until smooth and creamy.

  3. 3

    Serve

    Slice the cooled potatoes and arrange them on a serving platter. Pour the Huancaina sauce generously over the potatoes. Optionally, garnish with black olives and fresh parsley.
