The video is a cooking tutorial by a Peruvian chef who specializes in creating flavorful dishes using potatoes. The main focus of the video is to demonstrate how to fry potatoes in a way that makes them super crispy and to create four different types of sausages with different elements.
The chef begins by explaining the importance of potatoes in Peruvian cuisine and how they form a significant part of daily life. He demonstrates how to prepare a cornstarch mayonnaise, which he considers a key ingredient in many dishes. The chef explains that the mayonnaise is made from a paste that is cooked until it becomes a cornstarch gel. This gel is then blended with eggs to create a thick, creamy mayonnaise.
The chef then proceeds to make a tartar sauce, a chili sauce with avocado, and a cheese sauce. In the tartar sauce, the chef uses cornstarch mayonnaise, American mustard, hard-boiled egg, chopped onion, and chopped parsley. For the chili sauce, the chef sautés chili peppers, garlic, onion, and avocado, then blends them together. The cheese sauce is made by blending a béchamel with a buttery Cajamarca cheese.
For the main course, the chef fries potatoes and serves them with the different sauces and sausages. The potatoes are fried until they become crispy and golden brown. The chef uses different types of sausages, including pre-cooked ones with fine herbs, raw ones, and homemade ones. The sausages are cut into different shapes and fried until they are crispy.
Throughout the video, the chef provides tips and tricks on how to cook the dishes, such as how to cut the sausages and potatoes, and how to adjust the sauces for seasoning. He also shares his love for certain ingredients and techniques, and encourages viewers to experiment with their own recipes.
