Ingredients

1/3 cup sunflower oil or other neutral flavored oil like grapeseed or avocado
1 1/2 lb yukon gold potatoes
6 oz ripe tomatoes
1/4 red onion (optional)
1 clove garlic
1 jalapeño
1/2 cup cilantro leaves and tender stems
2 tbsp fresh lime juice
1/2 tsp kosher salt
2 tbsp thinly sliced garlic chives or scallions for garnish (optional)

Steps

Cut the potatoes into small pieces, place them in a saucepan with water, and boil for 8 minutes before draining.
Blend or finely chop the tomatoes, onion, garlic, jalapeño, cilantro, lime juice, and salt into a rough sauce.
Heat the oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat and fry the potatoes for 12 to 15 minutes, turning often.
Pour the sauce over the crisp potatoes and simmer for 5 minutes, stirring gently.
Top with garlic chives or scallions if using, and serve while hot.
