Follow recipe and add some cumin to bring the colombian true flavor of this sauce.

We really enjoy this potato dish, in part, I realize, because I like my potatoes unpeeled! Did cut the recipe in half & used 2 roma tomatoes & about 2/3 of the onion! Don't think I've every worked with queso blanco, & thought it added a nice, subtle taste to this dish! [Made & reviewed while touring South & Central America on Zaar's World Tour 4]

This was a different way to serve potatoes, I used my own queso blanco so it was really fresh. I think next time I might add some herbs or spices to this, I did use smoked paprika but the taste wasn't as full on flavoursome as I thought it would be (but don't get me wrong, this is still a lovely recipe).
