🧂 Zutaten
- 2 cups Milk(Whole milk is recommended for richness, but 2% can be used.)
- 1 cup Water
- 2 medium Potatoes(Yukon Gold or other waxy potatoes work best as they hold their shape. Peel and cut into 1/2-inch cubes.)

👨🍳 Zubereitung
- 1
Prepare the potatoes: Peel and dice the potatoes into approximately 1/2-inch cubes. Place them in a medium saucepan with 1 cup of water and a pinch of salt.
⏱️ 5 minutes - 2
Cook the potatoes: Bring the water to a boil over medium-high heat, then reduce the heat to medium-low, cover, and simmer for about 15-20 minutes, or until the potatoes are fork-tender. You should be able to easily pierce them with a fork.
⏱️ 15-20 minutes - 3
Add the milk: Once the potatoes are tender, pour in the 2 cups of milk. Stir gently. Increase the heat slightly to medium and bring the mixture just to a simmer. Do not let it boil vigorously after adding the milk, as it can curdle. Heat for about 5 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld and the soup to warm through.
⏱️ 5 minutes - 4
Poach the eggs: Carefully crack each egg directly into the simmering soup, spacing them apart. Reduce the heat to low, cover the pot, and poach the eggs for 3-5 minutes, or until the whites are set but the yolks are still runny. Alternatively, you can gently poach the eggs separately if preferred.
⏱️ 3-5 minutes - 5
Season and serve: Taste the soup and season with salt and freshly ground black pepper as needed. Ladle the Pisca Andina into bowls, ensuring each serving gets an egg. Garnish generously with fresh chopped cilantro. Serve immediately while hot.
