PAPAS A LA HUNCAINA, MAS O MENO

1 lb small red potatoes, cut in half 
Juice of 1/2 lime
2 tsp achiote seeds, ground and sifted as described
2 shallots, coarsely chopped 
1/4 tsp dried thyme
1 habanero chile, ripe, roasted, peeled and chopped
2 tblsp or so olive oil
3-4 oz goat cheese

Boil potatoes until done but still firm.  Mix all other ingredients
except goat cheese in a blender.  Drain potatoes, stir in goat
cheese, then pour sauce over and mix.  Serve immediately, preferably
with either bread or tortillas to wipe up the last of the sauce.
(Kim and I almost fought over it...)

Note:  This is quite hot, but awfully good.  The achiote, lime
juice, and habanero work very nicely together, and the potatoes
offset a lot of the fire.  We served it with something simple like
either a roasted chicken or shark in lime juice.
