Papas Fritas con Rajas (Fried Potatoes with Poblano Pepper Strips)
Servings 4
Calories 275kcal
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
Instructions
- 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.
