Gather @vegetable oil{3%tbsp}, @red onion{0.5} and @black olive{6}.

Boil the potatoes in their skins until completely tender, about 20 minutes. Peel while warm and pass through a ricer into a bowl. ~{20%minutes}

Let the mash cool, then work in the @lime{3} juice, @aji amarillo paste{2%tbsp}, oil and @salt{} until the dough is smooth, glossy and vividly yellow.

Toss the @avocado{2} slices with a squeeze of lime and mix the diced onion with the @mayonnaise{3%tbsp}.

Press half the @potato{800%g} dough into an oiled dish in an even layer, cover with avocado and the onion mayonnaise, then seal with the remaining potato.

Chill for at least 1 hour so the layers set firm. ~{1%hours}

Cut into neat squares and garnish with sliced @egg{2} and black olives before serving cold.
