This delicious recipe, potatoes with red pepper cream sauce, made its way into my collection thanks to my mom. I tried it once in Lima, when I was little, but didn’t remember ever having it. It’s a variation of the famous papa a la huancaína. The difference? It’s made with red peppers instead of ají amarillo. The red peppers give the cream fresh color and a not too spicy flavor. It’s simply delicious!
