Gather @fresh white cheese{200%g}, @saltine cracker{4}, @vegetable oil{2%tbsp}, @lettuce leaf{4%leaf} and @black olive{8}.

Boil the potatoes and eggs together in salted water — eggs out at 10 minutes, potatoes when fully tender at about 15. ~{15%minutes}

While they cook, blend the cheese, @aji amarillo paste{3%tbsp}, @evaporated milk{150%ml}, crackers and oil until completely smooth and pourable.

Taste the sauce and season carefully — the cheese and crackers already carry @salt{}.

Peel the potatoes and eggs and slice both into thick rounds.

Lay lettuce on plates, shingle the warm @potato{600%g} slices on top, pour over the cold sauce and finish with @egg{2} and olives.
