Step 1
Boil the 1.5 lb potatoes in salted water until fork-tender, about 15-20 minutes. Drain, peel, and mash while still warm.
Step 2
Mix the mashed potatoes with 2 tbsp aji amarillo paste, 1 tbsp lime juice, and salt to taste. Press half the mixture into a serving dish or individual molds.
Step 3
In a bowl, combine the drained tuna, 1/2 cup mayonnaise, and remaining 1 tbsp lime juice. Spread this filling over the potato layer.
Step 4
Top with the remaining potato mixture, smoothing the surface. Chill for 10 minutes if time allows.
Step 5
Garnish with sliced hard-boiled egg, tomato, red onion, and shredded carrot. Serve cold or at room temperature.
