    I used this recipe Serious Eats as a guideline (I made a half recipe) but used crabmeat as my protein (and I used green onions, rather than normal ones, to not overpower the crab.) I bought a jar of Aji Amarillo paste a while back to make this, so used that instead of making the paste from scratch. I also used hard-boiled eggs and avocado to decorate. My main lessons learned - while this was good last night (the day I made it), it was far better today after the flavors in the potato had melded together. In fact, it tasted every bit as good as restaurant versions today. In the future, I will make the potato mixture the day before. I also love the combination of avocado + egg with this, so I will go heavier on both next time, though I may go for a less expensive protein. I have several other recipes for this dish in my collection, but it’s going to be hard to beat this version, I think. Yum!
