Serves 8
Appetizer

Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the potato dough: Boil the potatoes until tender. Peel and pass them through a potato ricer while still hot to ensure there are no lumps. Let cool completely.

  2. 2

    Season the dough: Knead the cold mashed potatoes with aji amarillo paste, fresh lime juice, oil, and salt until it forms a smooth, bright yellow, pliable dough.

  3. 3

    Make the filling: In a separate bowl, mix the shredded cooked chicken with mayonnaise and a pinch of salt.

  4. 4

    First layer: Line a ring mold or small casserole dish with plastic wrap. Press half of the potato dough into the bottom to form an even, compact layer.

  5. 5

    Middle layers: Arrange the thinly sliced avocado evenly over the potato, then spread the chicken salad mixture over the avocado.

  6. 6

    Final layer and chill: Top with the remaining potato dough, pressing down firmly to seal. Chill in the refrigerator for 30 minutes, then unmold and garnish with hard-boiled eggs and black olives.
