This dish is a very typical appetizer from the city of Huancayo, Peru, although it is also often a perfect complement to rice with chicken. Traditionally, it is decorated with hard-boiled eggs, black olives, and lettuce. It is a quick and different recipe.

In a small pot with enough water, cook the potatoes over medium heat for approximately 20 minutes, making sure the water bubbles remain small; if necessary, lower the temperature. Once the potatoes are cooked, remove from heat, drain, and cool slightly. Cut the potatoes into medium slices on a cutting board and set aside until use. In a hot skillet, add the vegetable oil, sauté the onion along with the garlic, add the orange bell pepper, and cook for 3 minutes or until the skin of the pepper starts to brown. Remove from heat and blend with the milk, double cream cheese, vegetable oil, and saltine crackers until fully integrated. Serve! Place the sliced potatoes one on top of the other on a large plate, pour the dressing, add the hard-boiled egg cut in half, and the black olive for decoration. Serve with green salad.
