Papas A La Huancaina (peruvian Potato Salad)

Ingredients:
  • 0.25 Cup Olive Oil
  • 8.00 Oz Muenster Cheese, Freshly
  • 2.00 Each Smashed, Seeded Mild Green
  • 0.25 Cup Finely Chopped Onion
  • 6.00 Each Black Olives Or Pimeto
  • 3.00 Each Hard Boiled Eggs, Quartered
  • 0.00 Salt And Pepper To Taste
  • 1.00 Tablespoon Chili Powder
  • 1.00 Cup Heavy Cream
  • 1.00 Tablespoon Lemon Juice
  • 2.00 Lb Potatoes, Cooked, Peeled
  • 0.00 Bibb Lettuce Leaves
  • 4.00 Each Hard Boiled Egg Yolks

Directions:

Combine cheese, egg yolks and chiles in a bowl and beat with a wooden spoon. Gradually add the oil, cream and lemon juice, while beating constantly. Add salt and freshly ground pepper to taste and blend thoroughly. Adjust seasoning. Arrange potatoes on a serving platter, top with the cheese sauce and garnish with the lettuce leaves, eggs and olives. Serve at room temperature or chilled. You can add turmeric (1/2 tsp) to the sauce, substitute cheddar for the Muenster. I've tried to make the sauce in my blender but it didn't work to well.
