Directions
Papas a La Huancaina, When I worked for L A County in Canoga Park, used to visit Fina Estampa Peruvian restaurant weekly Their lunch special included an appetizer (usually this dish), an entree and a drink for about $7 bucks I have been trying to mimic their Papas for 6 years! I think I have finally found it! I had to send away for the aji, but if you have a Latin market, you should be able to find it This makes 2 batches of sauce, use one now, save one for later, or if you are feeding a crowd, double the potatoes , This is it! Years ago I had this when a co-worker brought it in His wife is from Peru and I loved this dish I seem to have missplaced the recipe she gave me and I couldn’t remember the name of it! Thanx for sharing This was perfect and I only made 2 changes I substituted evaporated milk with half & half and used 3 T of the aji paste I even licked my plate :P, When I worked for L A County in Canoga Park, used to visit Fina Estampa Peruvian restaurant weekly Their lunch special included an appetizer (usually this dish), an entree and a drink for about $7 bucks I have been trying to mimic their Papas for 6 years!
