Time 45m

Yield Makes 12 tacos

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 1/2 pounds waxy potatoes like red bliss or white creamers, scrubbed and cut in 1/2-inch dice

1 small red or white onion, quartered lengthwise, then cut across the grain in thin slices
1 teaspoon Mexican oregano or fresh thyme
1 garlic clove, minced
3 eggs, hard-boiled and chopped
1 cup quick fresh tomatillo salsa
12 corn tortillas
About 1/4 cup chopped cilantro, plus more for garnish
3 ounces goat cheese or queso fresco, crumbled

Steps:

  • Steam the potatoes above 1 inch of water for 10 minutes, or until tender. Remove the potatoes from the heat but don't discard the steaming water.
  • Heat the oil in a wide, heavy skillet over medium heat. Add the onion and cook, stirring, until tender, about 5 minutes. Add a generous pinch of salt and the potatoes and oregano or thyme, and continue to cook, stirring, for a few more minutes, until the onions are beginning to color on the edges. Add the garlic and stir until it begins to smell fragrant, about 30 seconds to a minute. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Remove from the heat and allow to cool for 5 minutes. Add 1/2 cup of the salsa and the cilantro and stir together.
