POTATOES IN SPICY CHEESE SAUCE - PAPA A LA HUANCAINA
This famous Peruvian dish Papa a la Huancaína was posted by Marian Blazes. I have posted it here for use in the ZWT-7 world tour of South/Central America. This is a dish of sliced potatoes covered in a spicy cheese sauce that is typically served cold, as a first course or as a lunch dish. It is delicious made with yellow or white potatoes. The sauce for the dish is called Salsa a la Huancaina and is made with aji amarillo peppers. The spiciness can be adjusted by using less or more yellow chile peppers. (your preference) If you would rather not have it spicy, you may use some tumeric powder instead for flavor.

- Cut the potatoes evenly: This ensures that they cook evenly. If the potatoes are cut too thick, they may not cook through, while if they are cut too thin, they may become mushy.
- Boil the potatoes until they are almost tender: This will help them cook evenly when they are roasted.
- Use a variety of cheeses: A blend of cheeses will create a more complex and flavorful dish. Some good options include cheddar, mozzarella, and Parmesan.
- Add some spice: A little bit of spice, such as chili powder, cumin, or paprika, can add a lot of flavor to the dish.
- Don't overcrowd the pan: When roasting the potatoes, make sure to spread them out in a single layer so that they cook evenly.
- Roast the potatoes until they are golden brown and crispy: This will give them the best flavor and texture.
- Serve the potatoes immediately: The potatoes are best served hot out of the oven.
