Papas a la Huankaina (Bolivian)

hard boiled eggs
med. boiled potatoes
Monteray Jack cheese
lettuce leaves
1 1/2 T red chili pepper (I use half)
2 Tbsp shortening
1/4 c water
1/2 lb white raw peanuts
1/2 c water
1/2 tsp salt
1/2 tsp pepper
1 clove garlic
1 c milk

Melt shortening in a frying pan.  Add chili pepper, then 1/4 c water.  Fry it, but do not brown.

In blender blend peanuts, 1/2 c water, salt, pepper, & garlic until very very fine.  Add peanut mixture to frying pan with 4 cups of water.  Bring to boil.  Let it simmer until thickened.  (you can used dried bread crumbs to help thicken it).  Add milk.

Place potato halves on lettuce leaves, cover with peanut sauce, place quartered egg in sauce, with cheese slices near potato.

This really makes a lot of peanut sauce.  I hope you're feeding a crowd.
