HOW TO MAKE MEXICAN POTATOES PAN-ROASTED STEP BY STEP

Start by giving the potatoes a water rinse, many times they bring a little dirt.
Cut the potatoes in half and soak in water. Make sure the water covers them for at least ten minutes, this will help them cook much faster. If you are planning to cook this and you can let them soak longer, much better.
In a pot put half a cup of water to boil and there add the potatoes (without the water) and cover well. The potatoes will basically be cooked over medium heat with the water itself that they release without having to boil them all covered in water. This allows you to take on a more baked and non-boiled flavor. Let cook for about 10 to 15 minutes or until you can poke them with a fork and they are soft inside. Having them soaked helps them cook much faster.
Take the guajillo chiles and remove the tail of the chili and the seeds. With scissors, cut very thin slices of the guajillo.
In a hot pan over medium low heat add the oil and butter, once they are hot add the two tablespoons of garlic and the guajillo. Cook the garlic stirring constantly, if you feel that it can burn, lower the temperature of the heat. Allow the butter and oil to take on color and flavor with the garlic and the guajillo.
Add the potatoes to the pan and sauté until they are golden brown in the parts that are not skinned.
Mexican deliciouness! whithout a doubt Time to eat!
