Ingredients
Instructions
-
Boil the diced potatoes in a large pot of salted water until fork-tender, about 15-20 minutes. Drain and set aside to cool.
-
In a mixing bowl, mash the ripe avocados with a fork until smooth. Add lime juice, mayonnaise, red onion, aji amarillo paste, salt, and pepper. Mix until well combined.
-
Once potatoes have cooled, gently fold them into the avocado mixture, keeping a slightly chunky texture.
-
Line a small bowl with plastic wrap, leaving overhang on the sides. Spoon in a layer of the potato-avocado mixture, pressing down gently to create an even surface.
-
Continue layering with alternating potato-avocado mixture and sliced hard-boiled eggs until desired height is reached. Finish with a final layer of the mixture on top.
-
Cover the bowl with the overhanging plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 1-2 hours to allow flavors to meld and the causa to set.
-
When ready to serve, carefully unmold the causa onto a serving platter. Garnish with additional slices of hard-boiled eggs and fresh cilantro leaves.
-
Slice into portions and serve.
