Ingredients

• 4 medium Russet potatoes
• 4 whole Green chiles (roasted and peeled)
• 1 large Yellow onion
• 2 large Garlic cloves
• 3 tablespoons Olive oil
• 1 teaspoon Ground cumin
• 0.5 teaspoon Smoked paprika
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
• 2 tablespoons Fresh cilantro
• 1 tablespoon Lime juice

Directions

Step 1

Peel and dice the potatoes into 1/2-inch cubes. Place in a bowl of cold water to prevent browning while you prepare the other ingredients.

Step 2

Finely dice the roasted green chiles, removing the seeds for less heat (optional). Set aside.

Step 3

Dice the yellow onion and mince the garlic cloves.

Step 4

Heat a large skillet or sauté pan over medium heat and add the olive oil.

Step 5

Drain and pat the potatoes dry with a clean kitchen towel or paper towels before adding them to the hot skillet.

Step 6

Sauté the potatoes for 8-10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they develop a light golden crust.

Step 7

Stir in the diced onion and cook for another 5 minutes, or until the onion becomes translucent.

Step 8

Add the minced garlic, diced green chiles, ground cumin, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper. Stir well to combine and cook for another 2-3 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.

Step 9

Cover the skillet with a lid and reduce the heat to medium-low. Continue cooking for an additional 8-10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the potatoes are fork-tender.

Step 10

Remove the skillet from the heat and sprinkle the chopped cilantro over the potatoes.

Step 11

Drizzle the lime juice on top, give it a final stir, and serve warm as a side dish or on its own.
