About Potatoes with yellow sauce
Potatoes with Yellow Sauce, or "Papa a la Huancaína," is a traditional Peruvian dish featuring boiled potatoes draped in a rich, creamy yellow sauce. The sauce is typically made from Peruvian ají amarillo peppers blended with queso fresco (fresh cheese), milk, and crackers or bread, resulting in a tangy and slightly spicy flavor. Often served cold with garnishes like hard-boiled eggs and olives, it is a popular appetizer in Peruvian cuisine. Nutritionally, the dish provides a good source of potassium and fiber from the potatoes, while the sauce contributes calcium and protein from the cheese and milk. However, its richness means it can be high in fat and calories, particularly when consumed in large portions. Moderation and pairing with a fresh salad can balance this indulgent treat as part of a well-rounded diet.
