El plato de la semana es: papas a la huancaina bolivianas. (The dish of the week is: Bolivian papas a la huancaina.)
Papas a la huancaina is the name of a traditional Peruvian dish. Papas means “potatoes.” Huancaina means “a woman from the city of Huancayo.” In Bolivia, this dish is prepared differently, even though it bears the same name. While cheese is the key ingredient in the Peruvian version, peanuts are the stars of the Bolivian dish. Interesting fact, both countries are part of the birthland of potatoes.
