Ready In
- Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Add potatoes; cook until tender when pierced with a fork, 30 to 45 minutes. Drain and let cool, about 15 minutes.
- Heat olive oil in a small saucepan. Add yellow chile peppers and garlic cloves; cook and stir until lightly golden, about 2 minutes.
- Transfer chile peppers and garlic cloves to a blender. Add queso blanco and vegetable oil; blend until smooth. Thin with heavy cream until a creamy consistency is reached.
- Arrange lettuce leaves on a large platter. Cut potatoes in half and place on top. Pour sauce over potatoes. Garnish with hard-boiled eggs and black olives.
Footnotes
- Cook's Note:
- Habanero or serrano chile peppers can be substituted for the yellow chile peppers.
- Substitute feta cheese for the queso blanco if desired.
- Substitute milk for the heavy whipping cream if desired.
