Yellow Potatoes w/Chicken Salad
Serves 8 people

INGREDIENTS
½ Cup Red Onion, diced
4 Limes
Salt & Pepper, to taste
3-4 lbs Yellow Potatoes
1 Aji Amarillo Chili Pepper or Ancho Pepper
1 Clove Garlic, minced
¼ Cup Olive Oil, divided

½ Cup Mayonnaise
1-2 Avocado

Optional Garnish: Chopped Parsley, Sliced Hard-Boiled Egg, Sliced Black Olives

DIRECTIONS
Place the chopped onion in a small bowl with the juice of 1 lime and season lightly with salt. Set aside to marinate while the potatoes cook.

Cook the potatoes in boiling salted water until soft. Peel the potatoes once they are cool enough to handle, and then mash until smooth and set aside.

Prepare the chili pepper by removing the seeds and coarsely chopping the pepper. Place in a food processor or blender, along with the juice of the remaining 3 limes, garlic, 1 tablespoon olive oil, salt and pepper to taste and process until smooth.

Stir the lime/chili mixture into the potatoes, adding it in parts and tasting after each addition, until potatoes are seasoned to your liking. Stir in the remaining 3 tablespoons oil and season potatoes with more salt and pepper if needed.

To poach the chicken, place the chicken into a large pot and add cold water to cover, season with salt and pepper. Cook at a low simmer until just cooked through about 15 minutes.  Remove the chicken and allow cooling. Shred the cooked chicken, place in a bowl, mix-in the mayonnaise, marinated onions and season with salt and pepper to taste.

Generously oil a spring-form pan with oil. Press half of the mashed potato mixture into the bottom of the pan and spread into an even layer. Cover with the chicken salad in a smooth layer. Top the chicken salad with slices of avocado. Layer the other half of the potato mixture on top and smooth the potatoes. Decorate the top with parsley leaves, slices of hard-boiled eggs and sliced olives if desired. Serve chilled.
