Papa a la Huancaina
Topics: Peruvian cuisine
Papa a la Huancaina (lit. Huancayo style potatoes) is a Peruvian salad of boiled yellow potatoes in a spicy, creamy sauce called Huancaina sauce. It is typically served over lettuce leaves and garnished with black olives, white corn kernels and hard boiled egg quarters.
The sauce is made of fresh white cheese (similar to farmers cheese), vegetable oil, aji amarillo (yellow Peruvian pepper), evaporated milk and salt mixed in a blender. Some recipes call for garlic, onion and crushed saltines.
This salad is served cold, as a starter.
