Instructions

  1. Step 1

    Cube the fish and place in a bowl. Pour lime juice over it until submerged. Cover and refrigerate for 12–15 minutes until fish turns opaque.

  2. Step 2

    While fish cures, toss sweet potato cubes with a pinch of salt and olive oil. Roast on a sheet pan at 400°F for 12 minutes until caramelized.

  3. Step 3

    Boil choclo corn in salted water for 10 minutes until tender, or roast alongside the sweet potato.

  4. Step 4

    Fold sliced red onion into the cured ceviche. Season with salt and a pinch of white pepper. Taste and adjust.

  5. Step 5

    Spread mashed potato causa on a plate. Top with ceviche and its liquid. Arrange sweet potato, corn, and a lime wedge alongside.
