Papas a la Huancaína, Peru

Made with boiled yellow potatoes drenched in a cold, spicy cheese sauce called huancaína, its appearance is deceiving, so be sure to have a glass of water nearby. The spicy kick from this dish comes from the Ají amarillo pepper--the hottest chili pepper in the region. These peppers come in a variety of colors and are usually dried and ground into powder form for seasoning.
