This is one of my favorite Peruvian side dishes. So easy and fairly quick yet the flavor is outstanding. Perfect side dish with a hearty steak or roasted chicken. Ingredients:
3 pounds new potatoes |
3 cloves garlic -- finely chopped |
1 medium onion -- finely chopped |
3 tbsp. of aji paste or 3 medium serrano peppers -- finely chopped |
2 tablespoons olive oil |
salt and pepper -- to taste |
1 cup half and half |
3/4 pound queso fresco or feta -- cubed |
3 medium hard-boiled egg -- coarsely chopped |
Directions:
1. Peel potatoes if desired. Boil lightly in salted water.
2. When done, drain well and cube.
3. Saute garlic, onion, and chiles in oil until the onion is golden.
4. Add potatoes and milk.
5. Stir carefully so as not to mash potatoes.
6. Add cheese and eggs.
7. Cook just enough to heat through and serve.
