Comment préparer

1
Place the potatoes in a large saucepan, cover with cold salted water, and bring to a boil. Lower the heat and simmer for 18 to 25 minutes, until a knife slides into the centers with slight resistance. Drain and cool until easy to handle.
2
Warm 1 tablespoon of the oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add the onion, garlic, and aji amarillo and sauté for 5 to 7 minutes, until softened and fragrant but not browned. Cool for 5 minutes.
3
Transfer the sautéed mixture to a blender. Add the remaining oil, evaporated milk, queso fresco, and crackers. Blend for 1 to 2 minutes, scraping once, until the sauce is smooth and thick enough to coat a spoon.

4
Taste the sauce and season with salt. If it is too thick to pour, blend in 1 tablespoon of water at a time until fluid but still creamy.
5
Peel the cooled potatoes and cut them into 1 cm thick rounds. Arrange the lettuce leaves on four plates and place the potato slices over them.
6
Pour the huancaína sauce generously over the potatoes. Garnish each plate with halved black olives and two egg halves, then serve at room temperature or lightly chilled.

Pourquoi cette recette fonctionne

Simmering the potatoes gently keeps their centers creamy while the salty cheese, evaporated milk, and bright aji amarillo create a balanced sauce with enough body to coat every slice.

Conservation et réchauffage

Comment la conserver

Refrigerate the sauce and potatoes separately in airtight containers for up to 3 days. Keep the eggs and garnishes refrigerated as well.

Comment la réchauffer

Serve chilled or bring to room temperature. If warming the potatoes, heat them gently in a covered pan with a splash of water; do not boil the sauce, or it may split.
