Method

Restated from the original video

  1. 1

    Put the yellow potatoes in a pot, cover with cold water, add a good pinch of salt and bring to a boil. Cook until a knife slides in easily, 20-25 min.

  2. 2

    Place the eggs in a small pot of cold water and bring to a boil. Cook 10 min, then cool under cold water and peel.

  3. 3

    Drain the potatoes, let them cool until you can handle them, then peel and cut into slices 1 cm (1/2 in) thick.

  4. 4

    Blend the queso fresco, aji amarillo paste, evaporated milk, saltine crackers, garlic and vegetable oil until smooth.

  5. 5

    Season with salt. The sauce should be thick and pourable, like heavy cream. Thin it with a splash of evaporated milk or thicken it with a little more cheese.

  6. 6

    Line a platter with the lettuce and lay the potato slices on top.

  7. 7

    Spoon the sauce over the potatoes to cover them.

  8. 8

    Halve the hard-boiled eggs and place them around the edge with the black olives.

  9. 9

    Serve at room temperature.
