Mexican Potatoes With Cheese Sauce image

This recipe comes from "Preserved" by Nick Sandler and Johnny Acton. I haven't made it, but it sounds like a good vegetarian main dish or go with anything side dish. The recipe calls for 8 potatoes, but the authors fail to specify a size or weight. As there is no instruction to cut or slice the potatoes, my guess is that you'll need 8 medium potatoes or between 1 and 1 1/2 lbs, depending on how and what you plan to serve this with.

Time 30m

Yield 3-4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 13

salt & freshly ground black pepper
1/2 lemon, juice of
3 dried hot red chilies, deseeded and crumbed
1 onion, sliced into rings
8 potatoes, peeled
1 fresh chili pepper, cut into thin strips (green or red)
2 hard-boiled eggs, halved, to garnish
12 black olives, to garnish
175 g mozzarella cheese, roughly grated
225 ml heavy cream
1 teaspoon turmeric
1 fresh chili pepper, finely chopped (green or red)
3 tablespoons olive oil

Steps:

  • Mix the lemon juice and dried chillies in a bowl, season with salt and pepper, add the onion rings and leave to marinate until required (you could do this step more in advance if you like).
  • Boil the potatoes in lightly salted water for about 15 minutes, or until cooked.
  • While the potatoes are cooking make the sauce by combining all the ingredients except the olive oil in a blender; then heat the oil in a pan, add the blended sauce ingredients and simmer for about 5 minutes until the sauce thickens.
  • TO ASSEMBLE THE DISH: drain the potatoes and place in a warmed serving dish, pour the sauce on top; drain the onion rings and scatter them and the chili strips over the top of the dish; garnish with hard-boiled eggs and olives.
