• 6 waxy potatoes, boiled and sliced thick
• 200g queso fresco or feta
• 3 tbsp ají amarillo paste
• 150ml evaporated milk
• 6 cream crackers
• 1 clove garlic
• lettuce, boiled egg and olives

👩‍🍳 Method

1. Fry the garlic and ají paste in a little oil for 2 min to take the raw edge off.
2. Blitz the cheese, evaporated milk, crackers and the fried paste until completely smooth.
3. The crackers are the thickener — the sauce should coat a spoon thickly, not run off it. Add milk if it seizes.
4. Lay the warm potato slices on lettuce.
5. Pour the sauce generously over the top. It should hide the potatoes entirely.
6. Boiled egg and a black olive on each. Served at room temperature.
