Hey there, I was reading your post and I just wanted to thank you for putting out such excellent content. There is so much junk on the internet these days its difficult to find anything worthwhile. I actually have cooked this recipe before, I got this book last month on recommendation from a friend http://ninjahq.com/go/cookingrecipes and it turned out very nice! I'm extremely eager to try your variation of it though, it looks fantastic. I think you might enjoy those recipes, they're very good. Thanks for the article and tips.

Hola @Li!!

I like Francesco’s in Coral Gables, but I don’t think I ever tried their Papa a la Huancaína since it really isn’t one of my favorite Peruvian dishes. If you ever go back, or if you’re ever at any Peruvian restaurant and they serve Tiradito – I highly recommend you try it. You have to like sashimi, though

You can definitely count on my mom (ja,ja) making this for you if you ever head this way… oh, yeah, I’m in Colorado

When you come back to NY,we will go to this restaurant in Williamsburg “Chimu,” and then you can tell me whether or not it even holds a candle to yours.

There’s also Francesco Restaurant in Coral Gables Florida where I first tried it (and I think its better than Chimu’s).

If you go to either place, let me know your thoughts.

Thanks for posting this awesome recipe. But when I head over to California, you can make this for me! Yay!!!!

Best,
Li

@MamaContemporanea, después me cuentas como te quedó!! Y, sí, tanto tu como @Lu tienen razón: falta una Inka bien fría y en botella de vidrio!!

@Sisi, I didn’t know you had a Peruvian babysitter growing up! That’s cool!! Well, now you know how to make them! I’m sure with your culinary skills, this dish will come out great

Un platillo delicioso y tradicional de Perú que es delicioso! It looks so simple, but one bite proves you otherwise! Thanks for sharing a family secret!

When I was little I had a peruvian babysitter that used to make this. I’ve been searching for these yellow potatoes ever since.

¡Ummmm! Yumi

Hoy comí papa a la huancaina y arroz con pollo. Rico “ñam ñam” como dice mi hija, cuando le gusta alguna comida.

Debes saber que siendo súper peruana yo tampoco sé cómo preparar la bendita crema, o me sale salada, o me sale poco amarilla, ¡terrible! Y menos me sale el ceviche, pero no pierdo las esperanzas de que algún día me salga como lo prepara mi mamá

Y me suscribo a lo que dice Mamá Contemporánea: “sólo falta la Inka Kola”

Besos gigantes desde Lima.
