Here is a recipe from our Peruvian side of the family. It's a tasty side dish with a nice kick and it's great on any warm day. We hope you enjoy it.

For the Huancaína Sauce:

• 4-5 Aji Amarillos

• 1/4 cup Vegetable Oil

• 1/3-1/2 cup Feta Cheese Crumble

• 1/4 cup Low Fat Cottage Cheese

To Serve with:

• Butter Lettuce

• Kalamata Olives

Step 1:

Wash and cut your potatoes in half and boil until tender.

Step 2:

Using the jarred whole aji amarillo. Peel the skins off the peppers and remove the seeds. Cut into pieces. In the blender add your oil, aji amarillo, feta cheese and cottage cheese then blend. If it is a bit too thick and doesn't want to blend add additional oil or some of the liquid from the jar of peppers. Blend until smooth.

Step 3:

Let potatoes cool a bit then peel and slice. Wash lettuce and arrange on the plate followed by the potato slices. Top with the Huancaína sauce and garnish with Kalamata olives.

We hope you enjoy my families version of Papa a la Huancaína!
