Causa Base

Method

Preparation

1

Prepare the Potatoes

Peel and chop the Peruvian yellow potatoes into chunks. Place them in a pot of salted boiling water and cook until tender, about 15-20 minutes.

2

Mash the Potatoes

Drain the cooked potatoes and transfer them to a mixing bowl. Add diced yellow pepper, lime juice, and salt. Mash until smooth and creamy.

3

Prepare the Filling

In a separate bowl, mix together the cooked mixed vegetables and shredded chicken (if using). Optionally, add diced avocado for additional creaminess.

4

Make the Sauce

In a small bowl, combine mayonnaise, lime juice, and yellow pepper puree. Mix well until smooth.

5

Assemble the Causa

Take a portion of the mashed potato mixture and form it into a round base on a plate. Add a layer of the filling on top and then cover with another layer of the mashed potato mixture, forming a dome shape.

6

Serve

Drizzle the prepared sauce over the top of the causa. Garnish with additional diced vegetables or herbs as desired. Serve cold or at room temperature.
