Papa a la Huancaina

Papa a la Huancaína is a classic Peruvian appetizer made with boiled potatoes served in a creamy, mildly spicy cheese sauce known as salsa huancaína. It's a beloved dish that originates from the Huancayo region in the Peruvian Andes, but it has become popular throughout Peru. The tender, boiled potatoes are topped with the creamy huancaína sauce, creating a satisfying contrast between the smooth texture of the potatoes and the rich, spicy sauce. The hard-boiled eggs and olives add extra flavor and richness.
