Indian Style Potatoes and Chilies

Ingredients:

2 russet potatoes
1 teaspoon salt
2 tablespoons peanut oil
1 medium yellow onion, diced
4 large Anaheim chilies, seeded and chopped, 1/2 inch dice
1/2 teaspoon turmeric
1/2 teaspoon chili powder
1/2teaspoon ground coriander
1 pinch of dry mustard
1 large tomato, seeded and chopped
Salt and Naughty Nelly's Deadly Twelve Pepper Blend or a few cranks of the peppermill, to taste
Fresh cilantro leaves for garnish

Preparation:

Scrub and peel the potatoes. Cut them into uniform pieces about 1 inch cubed and rinse in cold running water. Place the potatoes in a pot with the salt and cover with cold water. Bring to a boil and cook until they are fork tender. Remove from the stove and drain.

In a heavy skillet, sauté the onions in the oil for 2 minutes until just tender and add the chilies and seasonings and sauté for 3 more minutes until the peppers are just tender. Add the tomatoes and cooked potatoes and cook for another few minutes until all the flavors are infused. Adjust salt and Naughty Nelly's Deadly Twelve Pepper Blend and serve at once in a decorative dish topped with fresh chopped cilantro leaves.
