Chef's Tips

For an extra kick, you can add a pinch of red pepper flakes along with the aji amarillo paste. A fried egg on top makes this hash a complete meal.
↔

Easy Substitutions

If aji amarillo paste is unavailable, you can use a blend of roasted red bell pepper and a small amount of habanero or scotch bonnet pepper for a similar color and heat. Regular potatoes can be used instead of sweet potatoes, though the flavor profile will change.
