Potatoes With Hot Sauce image

Once the highland indians had learned the art of cheese making from the Spanish, they began sprucing up their boiled potatoes with creamy cheese sauces. Potatoes with Hot Sauce is a peppery version created by Bolivian Indians. Recipe comes from Classic International Recipes. I suggest you take a test bite of the chili pepper you are using to judge how much chili pepper you want in your sauce. I've found there is quite a variety of "heat intensity" that varies even among the same variety of pepper. I like mine spicy, so sometimes I increase the chili pepper, or even add a little cayenne.
