Ingredients:

Serving

2 lb medium potatoes such as purple peruvian or yukon gold (about 8)
1/2 tsp chopped garlic
1/4 lb queso fresco or feta, crumbled (scant 1 cup)
1/2 cup whole milk
1 tbsp chopped onion
1 tbsp olive oil
1 tbsp bottled aji amarillo or aji mirasol paste (sometimes labeled crema )
garnish: chopped pitted black peruvian or kalamata olives; lime wedges (preferably key lime)

Directions:

Cover potatoes with water in a medium pot and season well with salt, then briskly simmer, covered, until just cooked through, about 20 minutes. Drain and cool, then peel.
Meanwhile, mince and mash garlic to a paste with a pinch of salt, then blend with remaining ingredients in a blender until very smooth and thicker than heavy cream (if necessary, thin with milk). Season with salt.
Cut potatoes crosswise into 1/4-inch-thick slices.
Spoon some sauce onto 8 small plates, then top with sliced potatoes. Serve remaining sauce on the side.
What to drink:Concha y Toro TerrunyoCasablanca Valley Sauvignon Blanc '07
Cooks' notes: Potatoes and sauce can be prepared 1 day ahead and chilled separately. Bring to room temperature before serving (sauce will be very thick; stir and thin with additional milk if desired).
