Andean Chicken and Potato Cake
This entertainingly garish recipe (it has a topping of black olives, sprouts and sliced avocado) is Peru's version of shepherd's pie. Here the mashed potatoes are flavored with lime juice and chiles, and the filling is shredded chicken seasoned with red onion, celery and mayonnaise. Serve it cold or at room temperature; either way, it's ridiculously good.
