How to Make Peruvian Home Fries
- Wash and chop 2 pounds of potatoes (blue potatoes recommended, but any starchy potato will work) into 1-inch cubes.
- Boil the potatoes in salted water for 10-12 minutes, or until tender but not mushy.
- While the potatoes boil, finely chop 1/2 cup of red onion and 1/2 cup of fresh cilantro.
- In a large skillet, heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil over medium heat.
- Add the boiled potatoes to the skillet and cook for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until lightly browned.
- Add 1/2 cup of roasted, unsalted peanuts (roughly chopped), the red onion, and cilantro to the skillet.
- Cook for another 3-5 minutes, stirring frequently, until the onions are softened and the flavors have melded.
- Season generously with 1 teaspoon of ground cumin, 1/2 teaspoon of smoked paprika, 1/4 teaspoon of cayenne pepper (optional), salt, and freshly ground black pepper to taste.
- Serve immediately and enjoy the vibrant tastes of Peru!
- Optional: Garnish with a squeeze of lime juice before serving.
