Board, answering a question from someone called Outlaw. He was requesting several recipes from Cuban Sauces & he included also a request for Huacatay Sauce. Here is the information that I found in a Peruvian site at www.peruviancooking.com:

HUACATAY SAUCE:

1.1 lb (1/2 k) farmers cheese (ricotta, feta)
3/4 cup cream or evaporated milk
Huacatay leaves
Salt

Place in blender or processor, cheese, cream or milk, and huacatay leaves. Blend until mixture is creamy.

Optional: Add 1 teaspoon ground aj amarillo if a hot sauce is desired.

8 servings

Huacatay definition:
Black mint. Herb with strong flavor and odor which is frequently used in Arequipa, Peru and other mountainous areas in general.

Pardos Chicken is a well known Fast Food Chain in Peru, with more than 44 restaurants. You can search in Google for information about the restaurants, but of course, the recipe for the sauce is a secret.

You might access the Peruvian site that I provided you that has wonderful recipes from Peru. I mean, the real thing, not American (our) interpretation for them. There is a recipe there for OCAPA & another one for:

PAPAS A LA HUANCAINA / Potatoes in Huancaina Sauce

5 aj amarillo fresco / fresh yellow aji (chili)
2 garlic cloves
14 oz - 1 3/4 cup(400 g) famers chesse (ricotta, cottage or feta)
1/2 cup vegetable oil
2 hardboiled eggs
4 Spanish olives pitted and cut in halves
2.2 lb (1 k) yellow flesh potatoes, boiled (if not available, use white potatoes)
Lettuce
Salt
Pepper

Remove seeds and veins from the ajis or chilli peppers and wash well with water rubbing one against the other. Cut into pieces.

In a medium skillet, with oil, stir-fry the aji, whole garlic cloves until tender.

Put this mixture in a blender or processor and add the cheese and oil. Blend until creamy. Season to taste with salt and pepper.

To serve: Arrange sliced potatoes on a bed of lettuce, pour sauce to cover. Garnish with sliced hardboiled eggs and olives.

6 servings

Maybe that sauce is closer to the sauce for potatoes that you are looking for.

I also searched in Spanish (my native language-ESPA OL) but the information is similar to the one I am providing you. Good Luck with your search!
