Ingredients

• 4 poblano peppers
• 3 medium russet potatoes
• 1 medium white onion
• 2 garlic cloves
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 teaspoon ground cumin
• 1 teaspoon paprika
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
• 2 tablespoons fresh cilantro
• 1 lime

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven's broiler.

Step 2

Place the poblano peppers on a baking sheet and broil them for 5-7 minutes per side, until the skin is charred and blistered.

Step 3

Transfer the roasted poblano peppers to a bowl and cover with a plate or plastic wrap. Let them steam for 10 minutes to loosen the skin.

Step 4

While the peppers steam, peel and dice the potatoes into 1/2-inch cubes.

Step 5

Bring a pot of salted water to a boil. Add the diced potatoes and cook for 8-10 minutes until tender but not falling apart. Drain and set aside.

Step 6

Peel the cooled poblano peppers, remove the stems and seeds, and slice them into thin strips.

Step 7

Finely dice the onion and mince the garlic cloves.

Step 8

Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the onion and garlic, and sauté for 3-4 minutes until fragrant and translucent.

Step 9

Add the poblano strips to the skillet and cook for another 2 minutes.

Step 10

Stir in the cooked potatoes, ground cumin, paprika, salt, and black pepper. Mix well to coat the potatoes and peppers in the seasoning.

Step 11

Cook for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the potatoes are golden and slightly crispy.

Step 12

Remove the skillet from the heat and garnish with freshly chopped cilantro and a squeeze of lime juice.

Step 13

Serve warm as a side dish or use as a filling for tacos, burritos, or empanadas.
