65 minutes · 6 servings · Moderate

This is the centrepiece of Lima's picnics: yellow potato mashed with lime and rolled around chicken and avocado, then chilled so it can be sliced cleanly. Working the potato while it is still warm, and seasoning it well, is what stops the roll from cracking on the way to the beach. Nothing goes in that would leak or weep once chilled.
