Ingredients
 
 

  • 1 tablespoon oil
  • 1 pound potatoes, diced - see Ingredients in Post
  • 1 medium onion, diced
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced - about 1 teaspoon
  • 1 teaspoon ground cumin
  • 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • ½ teaspoon ground chipotle powder
  • ½ teaspoon sea salt and fresh ground pepper - or to taste
  • ¼ cup broth or water
  • optional garnishes - see Ingredients in Post

Instructions

  • Prep the potatoes, onion, garlic, and garnishes. Gather the remaining ingredients.
  • To a heavy skillet over medium-high heat, add the oil, and spread it around. Add the potatoes. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the potatoes show a good amount of browning (7 to 8 minutes?).
  • Reduce the heat to medium, then add the onion. Cook until it begins to soften, then add the garlic. Take care to not burn the garlic! Cook about 5 minutes.
  • Stir in the ground cumin, chipotle powder, smoked paprika, salt, and a few grinds of pepper. Cook an additional 1 to 2 minutes to toast the spices.
  • Add the broth or water, and cover. Cook over medium heat until the potatoes are tender. It usually takes about 5 minutes for me.
  • Remove lid to evaporate any remaining liquid. Garnish as desired, and serve.
