  4. **Combine Ingredients:** In a large bowl, gently combine the diced potatoes and avocados.
  5. **Add Flavor:** Stir in the diced tomatoes, red onion, minced jalapeños, cilantro, salt, pepper, and lime juice. Mix everything together until well combined.
  6. **Adjust Seasoning:** Taste the salsa and adjust the salt and pepper to your preference. Add more lime juice if desired.
  7. **Serve:** Serve the Michoacán Chunky Avocado & Potato Salsa immediately or chill for later. Enjoy with tortilla chips, as a topping for grilled meats or fish, or as a vibrant side dish!
