Instructions

1

Peel and dice the potatoes into 1-inch cubes. Set aside.

2

Blanch the tomatoes in boiling water for 1 minute, then transfer to ice water. Peel off the skins, remove seeds, and chop the flesh.

3

Finely chop the onion and garlic cloves.

4

In a large skillet, heat the vegetable oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and sauté until translucent, about 5 minutes.

5

Add the minced garlic and sauté for an additional minute until fragrant.

6

Stir in the chopped tomatoes, dried oregano, ground cumin, bay leaves, salt, and black pepper. Cook for 5 minutes, allowing the tomatoes to soften and release their juices.

7

Add the diced potatoes to the skillet, stirring to combine with the tomato mixture.

8

Pour in the vegetable broth, ensuring the potatoes are mostly submerged. Bring to a gentle simmer.

9

Cover the skillet and let the potatoes cook for 20-25 minutes, or until tender, stirring occasionally.

10

Once the potatoes are cooked through and the sauce has thickened slightly, remove the bay leaves.

11

Serve hot, garnished with fresh cilantro or green onions if desired.

12

Enjoy your authentic Mexican stewed potatoes!

💡 Chef's Tip

For a spicier version, add diced jalapeño peppers along with the onions. To enhance the flavor, consider adding a splash of lime juice before serving.
