    Papas Fritas con Rajas (Fried Potatoes with Poblano Pepper Strips) - Andrea Meyers

    I've been craving fried potatoes. Not Southern style hash browns, although I do like those...but that's another post. No, I wanted something with a bit of a kick. This Mexican version with poblano peppers is it. Known as papas fritas con rajas, it's such as simple dish and the flavor is wonderful. It makes a great side dish for grilled steaks or chicken, and also works well for breakfast with eggs and salsa (my personal favorite)

    Equipment

    • large nonstick skillet
    • sharp knife or mandolin

    Ingredients

    • 3 tablespoons sunflower oil
    • 1 medium onion (halved and cut into ¼ inch slices)
    • 2 pounds red potatoes (halved lengthwise, sliced ¼-inch thick)
    • ½ teaspoon salt
    • ¼ teaspoon black pepper (fresh ground)
    • 2 poblano peppers (seeded, deveined, and cut lengthwise into ¼-inch strips)
    US Customary - Metric

    Preparation

    • In the skillet, heat oil over medium-high heat. Add the onion and cook until softened, about 2 to 3 minutes. I like the onions to begin caramelizing and the potatoes to get a really nice golden color, but I don’t know that this is traditional.
    • Add the potatoes, salt, and pepper. Cook, tossing, until the potatoes start to brown, about 8 to 10 minutes. You want the potatoes to start to soften before you add the peppers.
    • Add pepper strips and reduce heat to medium-low. Cover and cook, stirring occasionally, until potatoes are tender and browned, about 7 to 10 minutes. Serve hot or at room temperature.
