Peruvian Potato Salad Recipes

Steps:

• Combine chicken, green peas, carrot, shallot, roasted red peppers, cilantro, and lime juice in a bowl. Season with salt and cayenne. Add mayonnaise and mix until combined. Cover chicken salad with plastic wrap and refrigerate until ready to use.
• Place potatoes into a pot and cover with salted water; bring to a boil. Reduce heat to medium-low and simmer until very tender but not falling apart, about 20 minutes. Drain well and transfer potatoes to a mixing bowl. Mash until smooth.
• Add jai amarillo, olive oil, and lime juice to the potatoes. Season with cayenne and salt. Mash together with the potato masher. Switch to a spatula and mix until completely smooth.
• Line four 6-ounce ramekins with plastic wrap. Scoop mashed potatoes evenly into ramekins; press and smooth out the tops. Cover each with a layer of avocado slices. Fill ramekin to the top with chicken salad, pressing it down and pulling up the plastic wrap to eliminate any air pockets. Cover with a final layer of mashed potatoes, going up to 1/2 inch or more over the rim.
• Seal top with a new layer of plastic wrap and fold the sides over to seal. Refrigerate salads until completely chilled, at least 1 hour.
• Mix mayonnaise, sour cream, garlic, and aji amarillo together for the sauce, adding a splash of water to adjust the thickness.
• Remove the top layer of plastic wrap from each salad. Invert each ramekin onto a serving plate; remove ramekins, then plastic wrap. Spoon some sauce around each salad.

Steps:

• Boil the potatoes about 20 minutes, until just tender. Drain, and place on a rack to cool.
• Meanwhile, pour the vinegar into a cup, and add the garlic and crush it into the vinegar with a fork. Allow to steep for 15 minutes.
• When potatoes have cooled, peel and slice 1/2 inch thick. Set aside.
• Remove garlic from vinegar. Mash anchovies on a plate with 1 tablespoon of vinegar, then mix anchovies with rest of vinegar.
• Place vinegar and olive oil in a large bowl; whisk together. Stir in jalapeno peppers and scallions. Add sliced potatoes, and toss gently. Add mint and parsley, and toss again.

Steps:

• Peel the potatoes and cut them into chunks. Boil them until tender when pierced with a fork. Drain and let cool in a medium-size bowl.
• Combine the cheese, half & half or evaporated milk, the chilis, onion, salt, pepper, olive oil, and turmeric in a blender. Blend until smooth and creamy. Taste for salt and pepper.
• Pour the sauce over the potatoes and toss to coat well.
• Lay a bed of lettuce on a serving plate. Place the potato salad on top. Garnish with the hard-boiled eggs and olives.

Steps:

• Boil the potatoes in salted water until tender, about 20 to 30 minutes; peel and mash while still hot.
• Let potatoes cool and mix with aji amarillo paste, vegetable oil, and lime juice; season with salt.
• Drain and combine tuna with onions and mayonnaise; set aside.
• To assemble, layer 1/3 of potato mixture on a serving dish; spread with a thin layer of mayonnaise.
• Spread avocado slices on top; spread second 1/3 of potato mash over avocados.
• Cover with the tuna salad, then top with the third 1/3 of potato mash.
• Garnish with sliced hard cooked eggs around outside and chopped black olives on top.
