Boil the potatoes in their skins for 22 minutes until tender, cool, and slice.
Boil the eggs for 9 minutes, peel them, and cut into quarters.
Seed and chop the yellow peppers, then soften them with garlic in vegetable oil for 4 minutes.
Put the peppers, mint, cilantro, peanuts, white cheese, milk, crackers, and salt in a blender.
Blend the sauce smooth but thick, adding 1 tablespoon of milk if needed.
Arrange the potato slices on a plate and spoon the ocopa sauce over them.
Finish with eggs and black olives and serve cold.
💡 Tip: Do not thin the sauce too much in the blender; ocopa should pour heavily from a spoon and stay on the potatoes.
🍽️ Serving suggestion: Serve ocopa like a cold meze plate with potato slices, eggs, black olives, and optional lettuce leaves.
