Start off by cooking the potatoes with the skin on, 1 Tbsp of salt, and the 1 scallion that was chopped. Cook potatoes until tender then turn heat off to keep it warm. While cooking potatoes you can start working on the sauce.

Melt the butter in a pan/sauce pot with the achiote to extract the color. Once the butter is yellowish/orange remove the achiote seeds with a spoon.

Saute the scallions for 2-3 minutes, then add in the flour and cilantro and saute for 1 minute.

Dd in the milk and season with salt and pepper, cook for 1 minute. Then add in the heavy cream and cook until the sauce thickens.

Once sauce is thickened, stir in the chopped hard-boiled eggs and jalapeno.

Once ready to start plating, using a glove, peel the skin off the cooked potatoes and add them onto your serving platter. Smother on the egg sauce and garnish with bacon.
