Directions
-
This is an excellent accompaniment for roasted and broiled meats, especially if you want something more substantial than the rajas alone.
-
I shall never forget the wonderful smell of the chiles frying as we would walk in very hungry at lunch time.
-
Sometimes our maid Rufina would use strips of the long, thin, dark green chile chilaca, which can bite your stomach as well as your mouth quite fiercely.
-
Cook the potatoes but be careful not to
-
cook them too much; they should be al dente, or they will disintegrate during the frying.
-
Remove the seeds and veins from the chiles and
-
cut them into strips about 1 1/2 inhes long and 1/2 inch wide.
-
If the chiles seem too picante, soak them in salted water for about 30 minutes.
-
Heat the oil and fry the onions gently, without browning them, until they are soft.
-
Add the chile strips, potatoes, and salt to the onions in the pan.
-
Without coverint the pan,
-
fry the potatoes until theyare nicely browned, stirring the mixture from time to time, as the chile and onions are apt to stick to the bottom of the pan
