Papa a la Huancaína - wikipedia Papa a la Huancaína Papa a la Huancaína Course Hors d'oeuvre Place of origin Peru Serving temperature Cold Main ingredients Yellow potatoes, Huancaína sauce ( Queso fresco, vegetable oil, aji amarillo, evaporated milk, salt ) Cookbook : Papa a la Huancaína Media : Papa a la Huancaína Papa a la Huancaína ( literally, Huancayo style potatoes ) is a Peruvian appetizer of boiled yellow potatoes ( similar to the Yukon Gold potatoes ) in a spicy, creamy sauce called Huancaína sauce. Although the dish 's name is derived from Huancayo, a city in the Peruvian highlands, this dish is from Lima - Perú. It has become a staple of everyday and holiday cuisine throughout the country. It is typically served cold as a starter over lettuce leaves and garnished with black olives, white corn kernels and hard boiled egg quarters. The sauce is made of queso fresco ( fresh white cheese ), vegetable oil, aji amarillo ( yellow Peruvian pepper ), evaporated milk and salt mixed in a blender. Some recipes call for garlic, onion and crushed saltines. In the south of Peru ( Cuzco, Puno, Arequipa ) it is served with ocopa rather than Huancaína sauce, made from freshly toasted peanuts, fried onions and tomatoes, aji amarillo, cream or condensed milk, crushed crackers or dried bread, salt, and huacatay ( Tagetes minuta ). Because it is served cold, Papa a la Huancaina is a favorite food of Peruvians to take on picnics and trips.
