Anyone from Peru have an amazing roast potato recipe?

Question

I was in Peru a few years ago and we were in the Mountains around Huascaran, we ate the most amazing potatoes. I have never to this day been able to figure out what they were made with. All I remember about the look of them is that they had some sort of yellow spice on them. Anything helps!!

Roasted Garlic Potatoes

8 new potatoes (the red ones), cleaned and scrubbed

4 cloves of minced garlic

1/4 cup of olive oil

1/2 teaspoon of dried Rosemary- optional

Salt and pepper to taste

What you do:

Preheat oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit.  Cut each potato into wedges. Each potato should yield about 6 wedges.  Place wedges, garlic, olive oil and seasonings into a pan, toss or mix the potatoes with your hands to coat evenly. Make sure the wedges lay flat in the pan- no layering.

Place in oven without covering.  Roast for about a half hour or until the potatoes are fork tender.  Turn the mixture a couple of times during cooking.

A classic recipe that will give you perfect potatoes every time.

Ingredients

1kg/2½lb floury potatoes, such as Maris Piper

olive oil or goose fat

Method

1. Preheat the oven to 220C/425F/Gas 7.

2. Peel the potatoes and cut into large chunks. Parboil in boiling salted water for 5 minutes. Drain and toss in the pan to roughen the edges.

3. Put a generous amount of olive oil or goose fat in a roasting tin and put in oven, until smoking. Carefully take the tin out of the oven and add the potatoes to the hot fat, basting them as you do so.

Answer 5

I think your talking about the Purple Peruvian Potato

Answer 6

I believe what you had was a dish called "Papa a la Huancaina".  It's a delicious traditional peruvian dish made with potatoes and a creamy cheese based sauce with evaporated milk, peruvian peppers, and other condiments.  You may have had black olives and a cut hard boiled egg served along with it.  Wikipedia has a picture of the dish.  You can ask for it at any Peruvian restaurant.
