This is one of my favorite Peruvian side dishes. So easy and fairly quick yet the flavor is outstanding. Perfect side dish with a hearty steak or roasted chicken.

This is one of my favorite Peruvian side dishes. I wish I could say that my grandma gave me the recipe because she did make this quite often during my childhood in Peru, but I found it online long ago, and modified it to match the memory I had of my grandma's potatoes. It's very easy and fairly quick yet the flavor is outstanding. Perfect side dish with a hearty steak or roasted chicken. p.s. Aji paste can be found in Latin American markets.
