"Willy, a Peruvian friend gave me this recipe verbatim. The cheese sauce for this potato dish is one of the better ones that I have tasted. A Peruvian guest of mine practically drank up the whole sauce."

directions

  • Place boiled eggs, potatoes and onions on a serving dish.
  • Blend together in a blender the cream cheese, aji or yellow pepper, garlic, crackers, oil, milk, salt and pepper for 5 minutes until you get a thick mixture.
  • It should be just thick enough to cover the potatoes.
  • If the cheese sauce is watery, add half a boiled potato to thicken the sauce a little.
  • Remove from the blender and pour over the potatoes and eggs.
  • Top with black olives and lettuce for decoration.

  1. It tastes just like the one they serve in Peruvian restaurants! Delicious. Although, I do add some turmeric for the color.
     
  2. Goes well with fried tapioca too.

RECIPE SUBMITTED BY

I love trying different kinds of food, playing with flavours. I inherited it from my dad. We used to spend every Sunday, cooking something new. It was like a special day for us to spend time together. Apart from cooking, I also love travelling. My favourite places are Jamaica, and Morocco. Nothing like sitting by the side of the road somewhere, eating Jerk Chicken or a Moroccan Sandwich!
