Potatoes with Cheese Sauce (Papas a la Huancaína)

Directions

1. 1.

   Cover potatoes with water in a medium pot and season well with salt, then briskly simmer, covered, until just cooked through, about 20 minutes. Drain and cool, then peel.

2. 2.

   Meanwhile, mince and mash garlic to a paste with a pinch of salt, then blend with remaining ingredients in a blender until very smooth and thicker than heavy cream (if necessary, thin with milk). Season with salt.

3. 3.

   Cut potatoes crosswise into 1/4-inch-thick slices.

4. 4.

   Spoon some sauce onto 8 small plates, then top with sliced potatoes. Serve remaining sauce on the side.

5. 5.
