Home Fries With Onions and Chile Powder (papas Con Cebollas Y Chile)
Recipe By :Meatless Mexican Home Cooking, Nancy Zaslavsky
Serving Size : 4

4 medium red potatoes -- cut into quarters
3 tablespoons vegetable oil
1 large white onion -- sliced
4 cloves garlic -- chopped
chile powder to taste -- (depending on the
type of chile)
1 teaspoon kosher salt
4 grinds black pepper
3 epazote leaves -- chopped (optional)
1 lime

Bring salted water to a boil in a pot and cook the potatoes for 20 minutes or until they are tender. Drain. Cool enough to handle and peel. Cut each quarter into a few thick slices.

Heat the oil in a large skillet and add the potatoes and onion. Turn with a spatula until the vegetables are pale gold. Add the garlic and cook until the garlic turns golden. Add the chile powder, salt, pepper, and epazote. Cook, stirring to coat the potatoes and lightly toast the chile powder. Sprinkle with lime juice just before serving.
