Method

Peel the potatoes and cut them into medium chunks.
Heat the lard or oil and brown the potato chunks. Remove them and set aside.
In that same fat, prepare a sofrito with the garlic, ají cachucha, onion, parsley, and tomato puree.
Add the potatoes to the sofrito and add the rest of the ingredients (dry wine, salt, bay leaf, oregano, and boiling water or broth), except for the ham and eggs.
Cover tightly and cook over moderate heat until the potatoes are tender.
Add the ham and let it cook uncovered until the stew dries out a little.
Just before serving, add the hard-boiled eggs cut in half.
